Netflix is raising its prices and Wall Street is raising Netflix’s stock price

Netflix is raising its prices for many of its U.S. subscribers.

Great idea, says Wall Street, which is rewarding the streaming company by pushing its stock up some 4 percent this morning.

The details: Netflix is raising the price of its $9.99-a-month plan, which lets users stream on two devices simultaneously, to $10.99, and the price of its $11.99 plan, which offers up to four streams, to $13.99. The company’s entry-level $7.99 plan will stay the same.

The price hikes go into effect today for new subscribers. Current subscribers will get an email from the company this month and will start to see their rates go up in November.

Here’s the official line from Netflix: “From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience to help members find something great to watch even faster.”

The writing has been on the wall for this one for some time: Netflix is spending more and more money on its own content — in part because Hollywood is pulling its own stuff off of Netflix — and is now looking at spending $7 billion on movies and TV shows in the next year.

Investors have been expecting to see a price hike for some time, but investors always love a chance to buy and sell Netflix stock, so Netflix stock is jumping anyway.

The only issue for Netflix will be the way it communicates the price hike to consumers, which has caused it problems in the past — like back in 2011, when it refused to say it was hiking prices, even though it was hiking prices, or in 2015, when it told consumers well in advance about a price hike, and then said that news scared off subscribers.

So this year’s strategy seems to be: Raise prices, say that’s what you’re doing, and get it over with quickly. Let’s see how that works.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
