Netflix Inc. (NFLX) released Q3 earnings yesterday, that had mixed results compared to analyst expectations but still gave shares a nice pop in the aftermarket on Monday.

The company announced 29 cents per share in earnings on $2.98 billion in revenue while analysts were looking for $2.97 billion. What really impressed investors is the fact that they were able to add 5.3 million new subscribers in the quarter.

They also projected that they will add 4.4 million new subscribers, slightly lower than estimates at 4.5 million.
