Netflix has confirmed a 10-for-1 stock split to make its shares more affordable for employees and retail investors. The announcement, made on Thursday, will see every shareholder receive nine additional shares for each one currently held. The record date is 10 November, while the new shares will be distributed on 14 November. Trading at the adjusted price will begin on 17 November 2025.
The company's decision comes as Netflix shares have surged beyond £850 ($1,116) this year, making them among the most expensive in the S&P 500. In a statement, Netflix said the split was intended to 'reset the market price of the company's common stock to a range that will be more accessible to employees who participate in the company's stock option programme'.
