Netflix

Netflix added 5.9 million subscribers globally in Q2 amid a broad paid sharing rollout in May, but the subscriber gains weren’t enough to placate Wall Street as Netflix stock declined following the earnings report that missed slightly on revenue and declines in average revenue per member (ARM). During the earnings call Netflix executives reminded investors that they belief business impacts from efforts such as paid sharing and its plan with ads will be a gradual ramp and start showing up in results over multiple quarters.

 

TelevisaUnivision

TelevisaUnivision touted success for the premium tier of its Spanish-language ViX streaming service, which helped drive subscription and licensing revenue growth of 14% year over year, totaling $453 million in Q2.  Executives on the call discussed a complementary programming strategy across linear and streaming with AVOD and premium ViX tiers, highlighting an example employed in Mexico this June.
