● Revenue: $11.08 billion, up 15.9% Year-on-Year (YoY).
● Operating income: $3.78 billion, up 45% YoY.
● Operating margin: 34.1%, improved from 6.9% YoY.

Analysts maintain a positive outlook on Netflix following its strong Q2 2025 performance. At least 16 analysts raised their price targets post earnings, with an average forecast of $1 330, implying a potential upside of +9% from the current level. Bullish firms like Bank of America ($1 490) and BMO Capital ($1 425) point to the success of the ad-supported tier and blockbuster content, like Squid Game S3, as key drivers. However, concerns remain around the streamer's premium valuation, viewership momentum, and limited transparency on ad and subscriber metrics. With nearly half of US signups choosing ad-tier plans and ad revenue expected to double this year, analysts are watching how well Netflix monetises its user base. Supported by $2.27 billion in free cash flow, the company is reinvesting into content and tech while pursuing strategic diversification. While growth prospects appear strong, sustaining momentum will be critical to justify its elevated valuation, making the next few quarters critical.
