The hottest stock in the US market is about to report earnings. Netflix is up a tidy 283% so far this year, making it the most high-flying stock in the S&P 500. (The index itself is up a not-too-shabby 19% so far this year.)

Expectations have been on the rise once again. Wall Street expects earnings per share of 49 cents on revenue of $1.10 billion. But the key number to keep track of will be those subscriber figures. Buckle up, the numbers are due right after the closing bell.
