What's Going On With Netflix's Stock Today?

Netflix Inc’s NFLX stock shot higher Thursday on reports indicating the company's ad-supported subscription tier has nearly 5 million global monthly active users. 

According to a report from the Verge, the company disclosed the ad-tier subscription metrics during its 2023 Upfront Presentation. Executives from Netflix called the early signals “promising” and said engagement on the ad-based tier mirrored engagement on Netflix’s traditional streaming platform. The number of monthly active users for the ad-tier is crucial as it could determine the price that Netflix is able to charge for ads on its service.


Netflix’s new tier also opens the door at a cheaper price point for users that may have been priced out in the past. Netflix with ads cost only $6.99 a month, which is about $3 cheaper than its most basic ad-free subscription.
