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 is expected to post solid results for the third quarter of 2024 - but with subscriber gains from its password sharing crackdown now tapering off, some Wall Streeters believe price hikes are on the near-term horizon.

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.

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