Netflix subscriber additions likely slowed, growth strategy in focus

Netflix could report its slowest subscriber additions in six quarters on Thursday as gains from a password-sharing crackdown ease, with investors looking for signs its nascent ad revenue business is accelerating.

The streaming giant likely added 4 million subscribers in the July-September period, according to analysts’ estimates compiled by LSEG. Netflix originals such as “The Accident” and “The Perfect Couple” were among the top streamed titles in the U.S. during the quarter, Nielsen data showed.
