This will be the first quarter to be reported with an adjusted share count, post-split. For the period, the Street is modeling consensus earnings of $0.32 per share on revenue of $1.646 billion, while the crowd is projecting earnings of $0.45 per share on sales of $1.654 billion. These figures compare to earnings of $1.15 per share on revenue of $1.34 billion reported a year ago.

Investors should keep in mind that Netflix’s stock will be split in a seven-to-one basis, meaning that the earnings of $1.15 reported in the second quarter of 2014 would equate to $0.164 per share given the current share count. This means that expectations point towards a year-over-year earnings growth of at least 100 percent.

Analysts Weigh In

In a recent report, MKM Partners’ Managing Director Rob Sanderson previewed Netflix’s earnings, which he expects to come in at $0.28 per share, on revenue of $1.65 billion.
