Netflix Inc will tell investors on Thursday how home-bound audiences and a lack of live sports have boosted its membership rolls even as streaming competition rises to unprecedented levels.

In April, Netflix wowed Wall Street by reporting twice the number of expected signups for the first quarter, bringing its worldwide total to 182.9 million customers. The company tried to lower expectations by stressing that the pandemic-related boost likely would fade later. Netflix has forecast 7.5 million customers for the period, which included the release of “Space Force,” “Too Hot to Handle,” a Jerry Seinfeld comedy special and a new season of “Money Heist.”Consumers did, however, have several streaming options. Walt Disney Co’s Disney+ came online in November, and AT&T Inc launched HBO Max in May.
