# Is Netflix Stock (NFLX) a Buy Ahead of Q4 Earnings?

Streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) is set to report its fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results after market close on Tuesday, January 20. Analysts expect a modest rise in earnings and sales, driven by steady subscriber growth in international markets. Netflix could also announce price hikes for its subscription plans to boost revenues amid U.S. subscriber weakness.

Moreover, investors will focus on management's insights on user engagement, advertising revenue, profitability margins, upcoming content slate, and fiscal 2026 guidance. NFLX stock has gained just 4.5% over the past year, lagging the broader market. It shed most gains after missing Q3 FY25 earnings and sales estimates due to a one-time $619 million charge from a Brazilian tax settlement.

## **Expectations from Netflix**

Analysts and investors will watch for updates on the pending takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) studios and streaming assets. Rival Paramount Skydance's (PSKY) hostile bids for all of WBD, plus ongoing legal battles, have delayed the deal.

The Street expects Netflix to report a nearly 28% year-over-year jump in earnings per share (EPS) to $0.55. Also, sales are projected to rise 16.7% to $11.97 billion. Importantly, Netflix has exceeded Wall Street's expectations in six of its last eight quarters, reflecting continued momentum.
