Netflix Inc’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock soars 16% after announcing impressive subscriber growth.
The entertainment giant saw a 70% increase in subscribers for its newly introduced ad-supported subscription tier.
This strategic move has resonated with users, with over 8 million new enthusiasts joining the platform.
As a result, Netflix now boasts an impressive global paid subscriber count of 247 million.
This development is not just a victory for the company but a major breakthrough, representing the most significant increase in subscribers since the second quarter of 2020.
The previous significant increase was mainly caused by the global pandemic, with the rise in stay-at-home mandates and the increased need for home entertainment.
Regarding finances, the company’s Q3 earnings brought a positive outcome.
Expectations were pinned at $3.49, but Netflix pleasantly surpassed them, generating actual earnings of $3.73 to the delight of investors.
Despite a troubling decline towards $300, the stock’s trajectory took a dramatic turn.
The recent positive earnings release abruptly halted the descent, propelling the price to soar above the significant $400 psychological resistance level.
However, experienced investors understand that the journey for Netflix’s stock is far from over.
There is a significant obstacle ahead and the stock price must surpass the $423 level, which has served as a key resistance level since June 2018.
Despite facing challenges, the stock performance indicates a bright future. October witnessed a significant 7% increase, contributing to an overall encouraging 37% annual rise.
After the closing bell on Monday, October 23, the stock closed at $406.84, trading up by 0.56%.
