Netflix Adds 5 Million Users, Analysts Predict Price Hike
Netflix posted its third-quarter earnings on Thursday and beat Wall Street predictions for both subscribers added and overall revenue. Meanwhile, analysts forecast that the streaming giant will soon raise its prices.
Netflix’s revenue for the third quarter was $9.825 billion, slightly more than the $9.769 billion analysts had predicted. The company also added 5.1 million subscribers, well over the 4 million additional users investors expected.
“Engagement, our best proxy for member happiness, remains healthy,” the report noted. “Through the first three quarters of 2024, view hours per member amongst owner households (the clearest view of engagement trends post the introduction of paid sharing) increased year over year.”

Netflix currently has over 600 million users with each one spending about two hours per day on the platform, per the report.
Will Netflix Raise Prices in the U.S.?
Thursday’s earnings report may not mean subscribers will avoid a price hike. The streaming company is increasing prices in Spain and Italy on Friday, and analysts from investment firms including Oppenheimer & Co. stated before the earnings release that a price hike may be on the way for U.S. users, too.
Netflix currently costs $6.99 per month for a standard plan with ads, $15.49 per month for a standard plan with up to two devices watching at the same time, and $22.99 per month for a premium plan with up to four devices supported.

Nvidia’s ‘Insane’ AI Chip Demand Leads to Record Share Price
Nvidia is the second most valuable company in the world, with a market cap of over $3 trillion. At market close on Monday, shares of the AI chipmaker hit an unprecedented high of $138.07 before falling to $131.32 at the time of writing.
Nvidia’s performance is tied to strong demand for its AI chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated recently that demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chip is “insane” and “everybody wants to have the most.” Nvidia expects to ship enough of the new chip to make several billion dollars.
Nvidia was briefly on the edge of unseating Apple as the most valuable company in the world on Monday. Last week, Nvidia shares grew by $400 billion in five days, more than the entire market cap of Costco.
Huang also said last month that demand was his biggest worry, or what kept him up at night.
“We have a lot of people on our shoulders, and everybody is counting on us,” he said, adding that having access to Nvidia’s technology was a “really emotional” point for the company’s clients.
Nvidia counts the biggest tech players among its clients: Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google contribute to more than 40% of its revenue. Nvidia’s earnings beat analyst expectations last quarter, with revenue growing 122% year-over-year, the fourth quarter in a row of growth over 100%.

Salesforce CEO Benioff: Salesforce Can Beat Microsoft at AI
Microsoft has invested billions in AI and plans to reopen a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania to power the technology. Still, Marc Benioff, CEO of enterprise competitor Salesforce, says that Microsoft’s efforts aren’t enough and that Microsoft has actually done a “tremendous disservice” to the AI industry.
“When you look at how Copilot has been sold to our customers, it’s disappointing,” Benioff said in an episode of the Masters of Scale Rapid Response podcast earlier this month. “It doesn’t work, it spews data all over the floors, it doesn’t deliver value to customers. I haven’t found a customer who has transformational work with Copilot.”
Benioff said that Salesforce customers were “so confused” because of how Microsoft had delivered AI.

“Copilot is really the new Microsoft Clippy,” Benioff said, referring to the paperclip-shaped office assistant that Microsoft discontinued in 2007. “I don’t think Copilot will be around, I don’t think customers will use it.” Salesforce is a Microsoft competitor.

Microsoft says that companies like Visa, Honda, and Pfizer are using Copilot.
Microsoft has made several high-profile AI investments, including a $13 billion investment in OpenAI.
