Netflix's Revenue Growth Slows, Earnings Per Share Compound at 50% Over Three Years
Key takeaways
- Netflix's revenue growth has slowed
- Per-share earnings have compounded at about 50% over three years
- $4.7 billion was repurchased in Q2 2026
Netflix's revenue growth has slowed to 13.4% in Q2 2026, the slowest of the last four quarters. Despite this deceleration, Netflix's per-share earnings have compounded at about 50% a year over the past three years. This growth is attributed to an operating margin that increased from 17.5% three years ago to 29.7% in the last twelve months, and a shrinking share count due to buybacks.
