Netflix Planning Another Season of Price Hikes, Analysts Say

Wall Street analysts are predicting another price increase for Netflix's streaming service in 2024. UBS analyst John Hodulik expects rate hikes this year, which could lead to a 15% revenue growth for Netflix. The company's recent crackdown on password sharing and the elimination of its Basic plan in certain regions underscores its mission to maximize subscriber value. Despite previous price increases, Netflix has not seen a significant loss in subscribers, and analysts believe it will be able to retain subscribers more effectively than other streaming services due to its extensive library and dedicated fan base.
