Netflix has announced a 10‑for‑1 stock split, the first such move in 10 years, aimed at making the share more approachable for retail investors and employees on the options plan.
On Thursday, 30 October 2025, Netflix declared the split. Record date is November 10, 2025; shareholders on that date receive nine extra shares for each held. Allocation occurs on November 14, 2025, and the stock will trade ex‑split from November 17, 2025.
With a price above $1,000, the split reduces the per‑share cost to $112 after adjustment, while the total value remains unchanged. This move allows everyday investors easier buying power and aligns with company‑wide equity incentive plans.
Netflix has split its capital three times - 2004, 2015 and now 2025 – showing a pattern of periodic resets to support growing market participation.

The 10‑for‑1 split marks Netflix’s effort to democratise ownership, ensuring retail investors and staff can participate more readily without altering fundamentals. Share price resets to a more approachable level while the company’s market cap and performance narrative stay intact.
