Netflix US Experiences Record Surge in Sign-Ups
Netflix (NFLX) shares surged over 3% on Friday following the release of new data from Antenna, an analytics platform. The data revealed a significant increase in US sign-ups for the streaming service, marking the highest surge in at least four and a half years. This spike in sign-ups was attributed to the implementation of Netflix’s controversial password sharing crackdown, which was introduced last month.
Antenna reported that between May 25 and May 28, Netflix witnessed the four largest single-day sign-up numbers in the United States since the firm began tracking such data in 2019. Notably, May 26 and May 27 recorded close to 100,000 daily sign-ups each. These impressive figures followed Netflix’s decision to extend its crackdown to include not only the US but also more than 100 other countries and territories on May 23.
In a blog post accompanying the US announcement, Netflix emphasized that its accounts are intended for use within a single household. The company clarified that all members residing in the same household can enjoy Netflix’s services wherever they may be, be it at home, on the go, or while on vacation. Furthermore, Netflix highlighted the introduction of new features such as Transfer Profile and Manage Access and Devices, enhancing user experience and control.
