Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) crushed Wall Street forecasts again, adding 8.33 million subscribers in the fourth-quarter compared with expectations for 6.39 million, and, as usual, the gains were driven by international subscriber growth. In reaction, Netflix shares soared more than 9 percent to top record highs in after-hours trading Monday.

International net sub adds […] were very impressive as we believe international subs marches down the path to hitting between 90 million and 100 million subs by 2020 and is key to our bull thesis.”

“As we head into 2018 we believe Netflix has a number of growth levers which should fuel the company’s next phase of strategic penetration among both US and especially international consumers and this quarter reiterated this message “loud and clear” […] Overall, this was a “home run quarter” for Netflix and should put any lingering worries to rest around sub growth, international ramp, and the “negative” possible effects from the price increase. While the Disney competition is on the horizon, Netflix showed with these results/guidance that the Netflix machine is showing no signs of slowing down.”
