Netflix Announces 10-for-1 Stock Split, Aiming for Increased Accessibility
LOS GATOS, CA - Netflix announced Thursday a 10-for-1 split of its common stock, a move designed to make shares more attainable for employees participating in the company’s stock option program. The decision, approved by the board, will lower the per-share price and perhaps broaden investment opportunities.
The split intends to reset the market price of Netflix stock, currently trading at $1,089.00 as of Thursday’s close, to a more accessible range. This primarily benefits employees who receive stock options as part of their compensation. Shareholders of record as of the close of trading on Monday, November 10, 2025, will receive nine additional shares for each share they hold, with the change taking effect after the close of trading on friday, November 14, 2025, and trading on a split-adjusted basis beginning Monday, November 17, 2025. Netflix previously enacted a seven-for-one stock split in July 2015.
The announcement comes as Netflix reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings,with revenue climbing 17% to $11.51 billion, meeting forecasts. However, earnings per share fell short of Wall Street expectations due to a $619 million one-time charge stemming from a dispute with Brazilian tax authorities.
Netflix shares rose more than 3% in after-hours trading following the split announcement. The company will effect the split through an amendment to its certificate of incorporation.
