Netflix earnings are coming after the bell Thursday, with analysts generally bullish on the stock that has already risen more than 40% this year.

Netflix Inc. added more than 5 million customers in the third quarter and eclipsed Wall Street’s expectations on every major financial metric despite a new programming slate constrained by last year’s strikes in Hollywood.

Netflix reported strong third-quarter earnings, in a sign that its content mix, including "Emily in Paris," and its password sharing crackdown are still paying off.
