The world’s largest online television network sold $1.9 billion of senior bonds in its largest-ever dollar-denominated offering. That was up from a planned $1.5 billion, according to a statement Monday. The 10.5-year notes yield 5.875 percent, within the initially discussed range of 5.75 percent to 6 percent, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the details are private.

Netflix’s sale follows a quarter in which it added 7.41 million subscribers, its strongest start to a year since going public 16 years ago. Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the company’s credit ratings earlier this month, citing expectations that growth will continue and eventually turn its cash flows positive. In an April 13 report, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Stephen Flynn said the upgrade may give Netflix the support to sell $2 billion of bonds to boost liquidity and pay for rising programming costs.
