Insights

Corporate actions analyst

10-for-1 split effective; authorized shares raised proportionately.

Netflix implemented a ten-for-one forward stock split, increasing the number of outstanding shares while proportionally reducing the per-share price. The amendment also raised authorized common stock from 4,990,000,000 to 49,900,000,000 to align with the split.

The action is administrative and does not change shareholders’ aggregate ownership value. The higher authorized share count provides structural capacity but does not, by itself, issue new shares.

Key dates are effectiveness at November 14, 2025 (4:01 p.m. ET) and split-adjusted trading from November 17, 2025. Subsequent filings may provide additional corporate actions if any are pursued.
