Is it a good time to buy Netflix stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Netflix share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Netflix's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$75.01 up to US$134.115. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

NFLX.US volatility(beta: 1.55)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Netflix's is 1.548. This would suggest that Netflix's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Netflix share dividends

We're not expecting Netflix to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

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.
