Frequently Asked Questions

A 10-for-1 forward stock split means that for every one share of Netflix common stock you currently own, you will receive an additional nine shares, resulting in a total of ten shares. This increases the number of shares outstanding but does not change the total market value of your investment at the time of the split. Your percentage of ownership in the company remains the same.

The stock split will be effective after the close of trading on November 14, 2025. Shareholders of record as of the close of trading on November 10, 2025, will receive their nine additional shares for every one share held on that record date.

Trading on a split-adjusted basis is expected to commence on November 17, 2025. This means that from this date forward, the stock price will reflect the split, and new trades will occur at the adjusted share price.

Immediately after the stock split, the total market value of your investment in Netflix will remain the same. While the number of shares you own will increase tenfold, the price per share will decrease proportionally. For example, if a stock was trading at $1000 per share before a 10-for-1 split, it would trade at approximately $100 per share after the split, with your total investment value remaining at $1000.
