Netflix (NFLX) IPO'd in May 2002 as a DVD-by-mail service at $15 per share. The company has had three stock splits: 2:1 in February 2004, 7:1 in July 2015, and 10:1 in November 2025 - making one original share equal to 140 shares today. Netflix transformed into the world's largest streaming platform with over 300 million subscribers, and early investors have seen extraordinary returns.

Netflix pioneered the streaming revolution with original content in dozens of languages, producing hit series like Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Wednesday. The company generates over $35 billion in annual revenue and has expanded into ad-supported tiers and gaming.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. Netflix dropped 75% in 2022 when it lost subscribers for the first time, but recovered strongly in 2023-2024. The streaming market faces intense competition from Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+.

Important Limitations

Past performance ≠ future results

This calculator shows what did happen, not what will happen. Historical returns — even spectacular ones — do not guarantee similar results in the future. Markets change, industries shift, and individual companies face unique risks.

Prices are in USD

All stock and index prices are displayed in USD (the trading currency). If your local currency weakened against USD during the period, your actual return in local currency would be higher — and vice versa. We use current exchange rates, not historical ones.

Fees and taxes not included

Real-world returns would be reduced by brokerage fees, fund expense ratios (for indices), and capital gains taxes. These vary by country and can significantly impact net returns. Use the Killer Fees Calculator to estimate fee impact.

Split-adjusted prices

We use split-adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance. This means stock splits are accounted for automatically. If you compare our prices to other sources showing unadjusted prices, the numbers will look very different — both are correct, they just measure different things.
