Netflix shares were sharply higher in premarket trade early Thursday, after the streaming platform beat Wall Street estimates in its third-quarter results. The company reported net subscriber growth of 8.8 million, well ahead of expectations and marking the biggest quarterly growth since the second quarter of 2020.
