Netflix provides entertainment services with paid memberships in various countries engaging in TV series, films and games across a variety of genres and languages. Members can play, pause and resume to watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, and can change their plans at any time. Co. provides a variety of streaming membership plans, the price of which varies by country and the features of the plan. Co.'s membership growth exhibits a seasonal pattern that reflects variations when consumers buy internet-connected screens and when they tend to increase their viewing. We show 58 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our NFLX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute NFLX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing Netflix market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing Netflix's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of Netflix versus a peer is one thing; comparing
Netflix market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like Netflix can fluctuate over the course of history.
