The streaming giant raked in 18.9M users in Q4, well above the 9.2M estimated, underpinned by a strong content slate and growing demand for its ads tier membership.

“A top priority in 2025 is to improve our offering for advertisers so that we can substantially grow our advertising revenue,” the company said.

Looking ahead, the company projects 2025 revenue of $43.5B to $44.5B, $0.5B higher than its prior forecast range, compared with analysts estimates for $43.6B.
