Netflix Stock Poised for Upside Ahead of Q1 2026 Earnings

Netflix heads into its Q1 2026 earnings with a bullish tailwind as shares have risen about 43% from February lows after stepping away from the Warner Bros. Discovery deal, signaling renewed confidence in organic growth. The company posted 16% revenue growth last year with margins near 30%, and management guides for 12-14% revenue growth with margins around 31.5% this year. Analysts expect roughly $12.18 billion in revenue and $0.76 per share for Q1. An investor notes Netflix’s ~325 million subscribers and the upside from licensing and ad-supported options, while the Street’s consensus remains a Strong Buy with upside to about $116 per share.
