Investors are talking about Netflix today, ahead of its quarterly earnings release at the beginning of next week.The streaming movie service could be facing a loss. Wall Street is expecting Netflix to show a loss of about 27 cents a share. This is due to higher streaming costs and lower customer growth over the past quarter.In 2011, costs of licensing, acquiring and delivering content soared more than 55 percent to $1.8 billion according to a Netflix regulatory filing, something that could be a big factor in its earnings. The company expects to add up to 1.9 million U.S. streaming subscribers in the quarter while losing as many as 1.8 million DVD customers, and adding 1.2 million subscribers internationally.No matter what though, the streaming movie service will be a stock to watch next week whatever the earnings may be.
