Netflix (NFLX) Q4 2025 earnings results beat revenue expectations, miss EPS whisper number
The Netflix company had a reasonably good finish to its 2025 fiscal year, even as it engages in the complicated business of a Warner Bros. acquisition.
by TJ Denzer · ShacknewsNetflix was one of the latest companies to report on its latest earnings results this week, and the bottom line of Q4 2025 was an interesting outcome for the TV and movie streaming company. Netflix was able to beat many of its important metrics, but was unable to do better than the expected whisper number on its earnings-per-share (EPS).
Netflix posted its Q4 2025 earnings results on its investor relations website this week. In those results, the company posted an actual revenue of $12.051 billion, getting above the $11.97 billion expected by Wall Street analysts. Meanwhile, for its EPS, Netflix posted a final tally of $0.56 per share. That was also enough to beat Wall Street estimates, which were set at $0.55 per share. It was not, however, enough to outdo the Earnings Whisper number, which was set at $0.57 per share.
Netflix has been in very interesting conversations over the course of the last few months. For one, it’s out to acquire Warner Bros. to the tune of $82.7 billion USD. If all goes as planned, that deal is expected to close by Q3 2026. In fact, in today’s results the company also announced it has paused share buyback to build up cash for the acquisition. Netflix also made waves when it was announced that a deal with Sony Pictures means the Legend of Zelda movie Sony is developing in collaboration with Nintendo will stream first on Netflix following its theatrical and home media release.
As adequate a quarter as Netflix had, the quarters ahead look exciting for the company. As we continue to follow earnings results, stay tuned to the Market News topic for the latest company reporting.
