Earnings season continues to move forward, with many companies finally pulling the curtain back and unveiling quarterly results daily.
And many more are scheduled to report in the coming weeks.
This week, we’ll receive results from a widely-popular company, Roku (ROKU - Free Report) .
Roku is the leading TV streaming platform provider in the United States based on hours streamed, quickly becoming a favorite among investors as video streaming snowballs.
How does the company shape up heading into the release? We can use results received from a few peers, Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) and The Walt Disney (DIS - Free Report) , as a small gauge. Let’s take a closer look.
Netflix Q4
Netflix reported mixed top and bottom line results, falling short of the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate by a wide 75%.
Quarterly revenue totaled $7.8 billion, modestly ahead of estimates and growing 2% year-over-year.

However, the focus point of the entire release remained the company’s Net Subscriber Additions.
Results came in well above expectations; Netflix reported Net Subscriber Adds of roughly 7.7 million, handily beating our consensus estimate of 4.5 billion by nearly 70%.
It represented the company’s third consecutive quarter exceeding our consensus estimate for Net Subscriber Additions, undoubtedly a major positive.
