Netflix Set to See Revenue Skyrocket as It Eyes $1 Trillion Club Membership
The US stock market appears to be finally gaining some consistency after months of volatility. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have gained Thursday. Specifically, it jumped from the recent block of US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff plan and Nvidia (NVDA) earnings beating expectations.
That could be set to finally get investors willing to buy in on some promising companies. Among that short list is one firm that may be charting a course for uncharted territory. Indeed, as Netflix anticipates its revenue to double, it is eyeing a spot in the exclusive $1 trillion club.
The company has increased its operating margin from 13% in 2019 to 26% in 2024, showcasing a stark growth trajectory. In 2025, that is expected to reach 29%. Moreover, management at the company believes that its revenue can double over the next five years. Specifically, that implies that the operating margin would reach heights of 40% by 2030.
That isn’t all that will double, as the company has been all-in on the advertising side of entertainment. Specifically, executives have held firm to the belief that ad revenue will double in 2025 and reach heights of $9 billion over that same 5-year timeline.
Currently, Netflix has a $500 billion market cap. That makes its next $500 billion no easy task. However, it already has the playbook to get it there, as its growth and trajectory look solid. Therefore, it could very well reach the $1 trillion threshold by the year 2030.
