Numbers Game For Netflix: Subscriber Growth, Pace Of New Content, New Streaming Competition
Friday, 15 January 2021, 19:17:29
Much of 2020 was a numbers game for Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX ), which raked in an amazing amount of new subscribers as people waited out the pandemic in front of their big-screen TVs. These numbers return to focus Tuesday after the bell , when NFLX reports Q4 earnings. No one wants to call anything a “winner” during a pandemic that has impacted so many lives and battered the business models of so many companies, but NFLX and other streaming services like it arguably became the “comfort foods” that many turned to. After NFLX added more than 28.3 million new subscribers to an already hefty base in the first three quarters of 2020, analysts are anxious to hear how the streaming giant ended the year from a subscriber standpoint. NFLX executives have been warning all along that subscribers added in the first half of 2020 represented an unsustainable pull-forward of the quarantined masses. How could anyone expect the streaming video veteran to continue bringing in new subscribers to the tune of 16 million in Q1 and 10.1 million in Q2 on a regular basis?

Summary List Placement Netflix usually stuns investors with its subscriber growth during the fourth quarter — a pivotal season for movie and TV releases. This year, the company warned Wall Street that its subscriber growth could slow down after a colossal pickup earlier in the year when many people were in lockdowns. Netflix usage did show signs of slowing in North America during the fourth quarter but seemed to continue climbing internationally, data from analytics firm SimilarWeb that was shared exclusively with Insider suggests. SimilarWeb tracked visits to Netflix's desktop website across 58 countries through a sample of users who opted in to have their browser activity tracked. While the data captures only a snapshot of Netflix usage, excluding streaming on connected TVs and mobile phones, it offers a glimpse of streaming trends on the platform. Netflix's average monthly unique visitors dipped in the US and Canada to 57.9 million in December, down 4% from during this year's peak in August, according to the SimilarWeb data.
