In the US, net additions totaled 1.93 million, much better than the consensus forecast among analyst for 1.378 million and Netflix's own prior estimates. Earnings per share (EPS) was $0.15, two cents above the median forecast.
Netflix's performance drove its stock higher after-hours. On Thursday, it hit an all-time high of $143.45, up by 6% in the first few minutes of trading.
The streaming service is making a major push outside the US, and also investing heavily in original content that works for audiences everywhere.
"We are in no rush to push margins up too quickly, as we want to ensure we are investing aggressively enough to
continue to lead internet TV around the world," the company said in its earnings letter.
Below are some analysts' reactions to the earnings results and how they rate the stock.
