Netflix revolutionized home cinematic viewing, first with its DVD subscription service, then with the rollout of its online streaming service. With hundreds of millions of subscribers globally, Netflix is one of the dominant streaming providers in the world, and its stock price has reflected its spectacular growth over the past two decades.
As the company grew in popularity and its share price increased, it conducted stock splits to signal its confidence in its continued growth and keep its per-share price low enough to be accessible to individual investors
Here’s a closer look at Netflix’s stock splits since it went public in 2002.

What would Netflix’s stock price be in 2026 if it hadn’t conducted any stock splits?
Netflix’s share price, had the stock not been split three times, can be calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the cumulative stock split ratio, in this case, 140:
Current Netflix stock price x (10 × 7 × 2) = Netflix stock price had the stock never been split
Current Netflix stock price x (140) = Netflix stock price had the stock never been split
Had Netflix not conducted stock splits, the share price would be $9,613.80 as of late July. That’s based on Netflix’s closing price of $68.67 on July 21, 2026.
How has Netflix’s stock performed?
Netflix went public in 2002, with shares priced at $15 during its IPO. Since then, the stock has had a 640-fold gain through mid-July 2026. That compares to an almost sixfold increase for the S&P 500 Index in the same timeframe. In other words, Netflix has outperformed the market massively since its debut in the early oughts.
Still, Netflix’s stock was down 25% year-to-date as of this article’s latest update and was down by almost half from its record high set in June 2025, amid concerns about slowing subscriber growth.
