Netflix shares closed modestly lower Wednesday as investors looked to the streaming media group's upcoming earnings report and a pair of Wall Street analysts underscored differing views on its growth and profit prospects heading into the final months of the year.

Analysts expect Netflix to post solid Q3 2024 results, and some believe price hikes are coming as the company looks to drive revenue growth.

The earnings season has started in earnest, with 40 companies in the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) reporting Q3 results so far, 80% of which have beaten consensus estimates. This week, streaming giant Netflix (NFLX) is scheduled to report its results for Q3 of 2024 on Thursday.

Netflix, Inc.'s revenue growth turnaround, expanding operating margin and healthy EPS growth indicate further increases ahead. Learn more on NFLX stock here.

Shortly after the 4 p.m. ET release of Netflix’s Q3 earnings (and the potential price-increase announcement), media analysts will have an opportunity to participate in a Q&A with senior Netflix leadership. General earnings-call etiquette states that you limit yourself to one question and one followup; Rich Greenfield has nine.
