AI Summary

Netflix (NFLX) reported Q1 revenue of $12.25 billion, exceeding Wall Street's $12.18 billion estimate by $70 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.23, marking a significant increase, while operating income grew by 18%. In March, Netflix raised U.S. subscription prices, with ad tier now at $8.99 and premium at $26.99. Despite a decline of over 10% in premarket trading due to missed second-quarter guidance and co-founder Reed Hastings' planned board exit, the fundamentals show a robust performance supported by a $2.8 billion breakup fee from the failed Warner Bros. merger.
