# Netflix: Competitors & Industry Structure

## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies Netflix under SIC major group 78. Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 11 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Netflix ranks 1 of 12. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Netflix reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001065280-26-000034 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.

By the SEC Standard Industrial Classification code each company files under, within Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight company set, falling back to the two-digit major group when fewer than two companies share the exact code. Classification codes are broad, so read the peer list as a screen, not a verdict.
