Netflix Subscribers, Ad Sales, and Share Price All Rising

The leading streaming video company, NFLX has 277 million paying subscribers, which is up 16% from a year prior. Its growing content library and user database make it a place where people go to be entertained and stay there because of the spot-on recommendations.

It makes sense that Netflix has a market capitalization of nearly $293 billion and annual sales topping $36 billion. And with its addition of an ad-supported tier, it’s opened a new revenue channel that is proving popular with advertisers (e.g., a 150% jump in ad sales commitments).

It’s no wonder NFLX shares are up 41% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
