Netflix Earnings: Why Subscriber Guidance Is Key
One major theme investors have been watching in 2021 is how the companies that benefited from consumers sheltering at home last year will perform this year, as people return to work and life begins to resume some normalcy. For Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), specifically, the big question is how the company's subscriber numbers will trend. After a surge in sign-ups in 2020, some investors may be worried that growth will slow significantly.
Investors will get meaningful insight into Netflix's growth trends next week, when the streaming-TV company reports its first-quarter results. Netflix will also share its Q1 subscriber metrics and provide guidance for Q2 subscriber growth, giving investors a good idea of how subscriptions are trending in April.
