Netflix Q1 Earnings Preview: Wall Street Expects Solid Results, Sees Stock as Safe Haven Amid Potential Economic Downturn
Wall Street analysts anticipate Netflix will report strong Q1 2025 earnings and say the company is positioned to withstand an economic downturn.
“Given macro volatility, we view Netflix as arguably the most defensive stock in our coverage universe amid any broader slowdown,” TD Cowen analysts led by John Blackledge said in an April 8 research note. So far in 2025, Netflix shares have outperformed the broader market: The stock is up more than 7% year to date, compared with a decline of more than 10% for the S&P 500 index amid President Trump’s tariff announcements and escalating trade war with China. For 2025, the company has touted the return of three of its biggest TV shows — “Squid Game,” “Wednesday” and “Stranger Things” — and said it plans to “grow into new areas like live programming and games.” Of note, Netflix began streaming WWE “Monday Night Raw” exclusively in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Latin America on a weekly basis in January 2025.
