Netflix to hide its subscriber numbers starting in 2025
Quick Glance: Netflix to Cease Reporting Subscriber Numbers from 2025
  • Netflix will no longer report subscriber numbers starting from the first quarter of 2025. The announcement came with the first quarter 2024 results where Netflix exceeded expectations.

  • Despite the success in the first quarter, Netflix shares dropped over 4.5% after-hours upon revealing the decision to stop reporting quarterly subscriber totals.

  • The choice to discontinue reporting quarterly membership numbers or average revenue per member is based on Netflix's belief that engagement time is the best indicator of customer satisfaction.

  • Netflix plans to announce major subscriber milestones but will halt reporting quarterly subscriber numbers and shift investor focus towards time-spent-viewing metrics.

Quick Glance: Microsoft splits up Teams and Office worldwide
  • Microsoft is beginning to sell Teams and the other Microsoft 365 apps as separate products with separate prices for new commercial customers worldwide.

  • The unbundling is a win for other team communication and video conferencing apps like Slack and Zoom, which have not benefited from the huge established user base of the Office apps.

  • The separation follows an EU regulatory investigation that started in July 2023, and Microsoft may yet be fined.

  • Currently, the changes only affect the Microsoft 365 plans for the Business, Enterprise, and Frontline versions of Microsoft 365.
