Netflix stock reached new record highs as the rally in the technology sector continues, with the Nasdaq index also hitting fresh all-time highs, following positive momentum from Chinese stocks during the Asian trading session. Netflix has benefited significantly from the coronavirus crisis, with over 16 million new subscribers signing up in the first three months of 2020. The company’s management expects this trend to continue throughout the rest of the year.

Despite increasing competition in the sector, Netflix’s market share grew by 1.5% during the coronavirus lockdown. Management has reassured investors that their content release schedule will not be affected by the pandemic for the remainder of the year, giving Netflix a strong advantage over competitors facing disruptions in content production.

Many analysts now believe that Netflix may leverage its strong market position to raise membership prices, which would enhance the company’s profitability.

Netflix is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings on July 16, 2020.
