How Do These Events Affect Netflix, Inc.'s Financial History?
None of Netflix, Inc.'s Form 8-K filings listed by EDGAR reports a completed acquisition or disposition under Item 2.01, so the revenue record reflects its existing businesses more directly than a serial acquirer's would. Deals too small to require an 8-K can still contribute.
A stock split changes every per-share figure before it: earnings per share, dividends per share and share counts in older filings are on a different basis until restated, so compare per-share history only in split-adjusted terms.
Earlier filings were made under a former name, which matters when searching EDGAR or older research; the company's CIK number (1065280) stays the same across names.
Each year shows the revenue from the latest 10-K that reported it, so a year a company later restated can differ from the figure it first published, and most companies moved to a new revenue tag after the 2018 change in revenue accounting.
