Netflix’s Third-Quarter Profit Jumps 44 Percent to 3.66 Billion Dollars
Netflix三季度净利大增44%，营收增速放缓预期拖累股价
Netflix reported third-quarter revenue of 12.87 billion dollars, up 11.8 percent from a year earlier, while net income jumped about 44 percent to 3.66 billion dollars, or 0.87 dollars per share, beating analyst estimates. Operating income rose 37 percent to 4.5 billion dollars, and the operating margin expanded to 34.6 percent from 28.2 percent. The stock still fell nearly 6 percent after the results, as the company guided to slower revenue growth ahead and said its ad-tier and password-sharing efforts face tougher comparisons. Netflix now has more than 300 million members worldwide, and it is betting on live events, gaming and advertising to drive the next stage of growth.
Netflix公布三季度营收128.7亿美元，同比增长11.8%；净利润同比增长约44%至36.6亿美元，每股收益0.87美元，高于分析师预期。营业利润增长37%至45亿美元，营业利润率从28.2%扩大至34.6%。不过财报发布后股价仍下跌近6%，因公司预计未来营收增速放缓，广告层级和打击密码共享等举措将面临更难的基数比较。Netflix全球会员已超3亿，正押注直播、游戏和广告业务推动下一阶段增长。
