Have Netflix's shares ever split?
Netflix's shares were split on a 10:1 basis on 16 November 2025. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Netflix shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 90% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Netflix shares which in turn could have impacted Netflix's share price.
