Investing.com – Netflix jumped late-Thursday after the company said it would be increasing prices for its U.S. subscribers. 

Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock was up 5%.

The company said it would increase its standard plan by $1, to $14 a month and its premium plan by $2, to $18 a month. The move comes after the streaming giant recently reported quarterly results that missed expectations following weaker than expected user additions. 

The company most recently upped its price plans in Canada.
