Summary

  • Netflix's narrative is shifting from subscriber growth to value per user, margin expansion, and scalable advertising monetization.
  • Q2 2025 expectations are solid: strong revenue, margin expansion, and robust free cash flow, with advertising as a key growth lever.
  • Valuation is rich, but justified by superior margins, cash generation, and unique strategic positioning versus traditional media peers.
