Netflix Inc. is growing faster than even its most bullish fans on Wall Street predicted, soothing doubts about its global prospects and sending its already-stratospheric stock higher.

Netflix also issued an upbeat outlook for the current three months, saying it plans to add 28.9 million customers in total this year, a record for the 21-year-old company.
