S&P gives Netflix positive outlook on improved operating performance

The rating agency also affirmed the company's B+ corporate credit rating. The B+ issue-level rating on the company's senior unsecured notes remain unchanged.

For the full year, net income came to $558.9 million, or $1.25 per share, compared to $186.7 million, or 43 cents per share, reported in full year 2016.
