Netflix's Record Growth and Market Position
Netflix reported impressive earnings, adding 19 million subscribers during the holiday period, resulting in a global user base exceeding 300 million. This substantial growth has established Netflix as the fourth largest 'country' in terms of membership. The company saw a significant increase in revenue, up 16%, and reached an operating profit margin of 27%, indicating strong financial health.
