Netflix Earnings Preview: The Most Important Metric to Watch

With banks kicking of 2022's first earnings season last week, quartelry reports will continue this week. Perhaps one of the most closely watched companies reporting earnings this week will be Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). The streaming service specialist is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday.

There will be a handful of metrics for investors to check on when Netflix reports its latest quarterly results. But one of the most important metrics to watch will be the company's guidance for subscriber growth in Q1. This metric will be particularly telling given that the company announced price increases for its service on Friday. By the time the company reports its latest results, management may have some insight into whether or not the higher prices are deterring subscriber growth.
