Roblox (RBLX) Slumps After Wider Than Expected Loss in Q2
By: Investing.com | August 9, 2022
Roblox fell sharply in afterhours Tuesday after reporting a wider-than-expected loss in the second quarter as a weaker economic backdrop forced consumers to rein in spending on video games.
Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) was down 13% in afterhours trading.
Roblox delivered a Q2 loss of 30 cents a share on revenue of $640.0 million. That compared with Wall Street estimates for a loss of 25 cents on revenue of $639.2 million.
Bookings decreased 4% to $639.9 million.
Daily active users rose 21% in second quarter year-on-year to 52.2 million and the number of hours that players spend on the app rising 16%, to 11.30 billion.

Earnings Preview: Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | August 8, 2022
• Here are previews of four earnings reports due out after markets close on Tuesday.
Roblox
Interactive entertainment platform Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX) has seen its stock price tumble by nearly 40% over the past 12 months. The stock fell more than 95% between its high in mid-November and its low in mid-May, before more than doubling as of Friday’s closing bell. Over the past five weeks, the stock has added almost 50%. The company is developing a way to monetize all the platform’s users through advertising. If it can deliver (and users don’t rebel), share prices could continue marching higher.
Of 20 analysts covering the stock, 11 have a Buy or Strong Buy rating and seven more have Hold ratings. At a price of around $49.20 a share, the stock trades above its median price target of $40.00. At the high target of $80.00, the upside potential is about 62.2%.
The consensus second-quarter revenue estimate is $645.43 million, down 0.9% sequentially and 6.0% lower year over year. Analysts also expect Roblox to post a loss per share of $0.26, compared to the prior quarter’s loss of $0.27 per share and the year-ago quarter’s loss of $0.25. For the full fiscal year, the company is expected to post a loss of $1.12 per share, compared to last year’s loss of $0.97 per share. Revenue is forecast at $2.73 billion, up 0.2%.
Roblox is not expected to post a profit in 2022, 2023 or 2024. The stock’s enterprise value to sales multiple for 2022 is 10.0. For 2022 and 2023, the multiples are 8.4 and 7.2, respectively. The stock’s 52-week trading range is $21.65 to $141.60, and the company does not pay a dividend. The total shareholder return for the past year was negative 38.9%.

Roblox Stock: Bull vs. Bear
By: Motley Fool | July 18, 2022
• Is Roblox a smart buy at today's prices?
Roblox (RBLX -0.05%) is an early leader in the metaverse space, but its stock has been crushed in 2022. The company now trades down roughly 64% year to date and 74% from the all-time high that it hit last November, and investors seem split on what's next for the interactive-entertainment platform.
With that in mind, two Motley Fool contributors have outlined bull and bear theses on the stock. Read on to see what they think comes next for the beaten-down metaverse player.
The bull case
Keith Noonan: Roblox's service is already incredibly popular, and I think there's a lot to like about the company's core business model. Rather than being a video game company in the traditional sense, Roblox is actually a platform that houses thousands of unique games and experiences.
Creators can make their own games and content for other players to enjoy -- and earn money depending on how much engagement is generated. And the focus on user-generated content sets up the potential for a content ecosystem that can continue evolving over the long term.
Roblox also has a huge social-interaction component, which has helped it grow quickly and generate high levels of engagement. However, the business is now facing headwinds and challenging performance comparisons.
Its valuation has plummeted as growth stocks have fallen out of favor, and pandemic-related tailwinds that led to surging engagement have waned. Compared to periods of pandemic-elevated performance, the company's bookings are now declining substantially, and daily active users will likely slip on a sequential basis in the second quarter. But I don't think the company is down for the count, and investors could benefit by taking advantage of big sell-offs.
With the stock trading down precipitously from its high and 46% from market close on the day of its initial public offering, long-term investors willing to accept the potential for near-term volatility can buy into a worthwhile risk-reward profile at current prices.
It's not surprising to see engagement and spending trends looking softer now that people are able to get back out in the world, and the core appeal of the platform doesn't appear to have been damaged. This beaten-down growth stock could be worth betting on.
The bear case
Parkev Tatevosian: My bear case against investing in Roblox is the downturn it's seeing related to the pandemic-affected economy reopening. The metaverse pioneer thrived at the pandemic's onset when millions of kids were sent home for remote learning. That created more time for kids, Roblox's most popular customer cohort, to sign in to the platform.
Daily active users surged from 19.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 54.1 million in the first quarter of 2022. But the economic reopening has gained momentum and Roblox's daily active users have fallen to 50.4 million as of its latest update.
The site is free to join and use; Roblox makes money by selling an in-game currency called Robux. In that regard, it also thrived in the initial stages of the pandemic, but the downturn is gaining steam. Bookings, which measure customer deposits to purchase Robux, fell by 10% in May from the same time the year before. Considering user figures, the average booking per daily active user fell by 23.5% year over year.
The indicators point to this trend continuing downward as folks have more options for what to do with their time and money. Increasingly, people are choosing away-from-home activities after social distancing for the better part of two years.
Should you buy Roblox stock?
Even with the dramatic sell-offs, Roblox isn't a low-risk investment at current prices. Now that positive business catalysts stemming from pandemic conditions have waned, there's reasonable skepticism about whether the platform can return to posting big bookings and user growth.
For risk-tolerant investors looking for exposure to the gaming and metaverse markets, Roblox could have big upside at current prices, but the stock probably isn't a great fit for those who want to avoid volatility and speculation.

Analysts Raise Roblox (RBLX) Price Targets as Developers Positive on Monetization
By: Investing.com | July 14, 2022
Analysts at both BofA and Needham raised their price targets on Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) shares Thursday, with one stating that the majority of developers were more positive about the monetization opportunity on the platform now.
Bernie McTernan, an analyst at Needham, raised the price target on Roblox to $45 per share from $40, maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. He said in a note to investors that after they spoke with 17 Roblox developers on their outlook on the current monetization environment, advertising opportunities and the UGC marketplace, the "majority were more positive on the monetization opportunity on the platform now vs last year given the perception of rising engagement and ease of creation."
McTernan continued: "This should allow for the content flywheel to keep spinning as COVID comps ease in 2H22 and RBLX expands monetization initiatives. Speaking with developers on two of these initiatives, advertising expectations could be a source of upside surprise for developer monetization."
Meanwhile, BofA analyst Omar Dessouky also raised the firm's Roblox price target to $45 per share from $40, maintaining a Buy rating.
"We raise our bookings estimates for 4Q22 to 17% Y/Y from 12% Y/Y, and for FY22 to 4% Y/Y from 3% Y/Y," said Dessouky. "On June 28th, RBLX quietly announced the full release of Dynamic Heads, 2-3 months before we had assumed, giving developers time to deploy the technology in their games before Q4. Moreover, gamers will likely be able to buy Dynamic Heads for their Avatars 'later this year.'"
BofA raised its fourth-quarter estimates by about $40 million and "assume no impact to 4Q from a UGC Avatar Bodies release later this year."
However, they "remain cautious on 2Q (and 3Q) as data from SensorTower indicates weakness in Core US/CAN avg. bookings/hour, suggesting games/Avatars did not improve significantly in Q2."

Why Roblox stock is on fire
By: Yahoo Finance | July 7, 2022
The weather isn't the only thing warming up in July. Roblox stock is surging as well.
Roblox stock is up 25% over the last month, including a 14% move higher on strong volume on Tuesday despite a broader market pullback, and have continued to trek higher as the week has raged on.
The metaverse gaming play has been one of the hottest tickers on the Yahoo Finance platform.
Analysts pin the move on a few factors.
"I think that part of it is that the third-party data that we have been hearing about all pointed to a really negative May, and that catalyst for the shorts has came and went,” Needham Analyst Bernie McTernan said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Then the question is: What are you applying next? Really we think there will be improvement in the second half of the year as comparable [data] begins to normalize. We expect to be looking at high teens, maybe even low 20%, bookings growth into 2023.”
The news on Roblox has been far from rosy in recent months, sending shares down 62% year to date. The company has battled slowing growth numbers as consumers have ventured back outside with the COVID-19 pandemic easing.
To McTernan's point, daily active user growth moderated to 17% in May. Back in February, daily active users rose 28%. Engaged hours only rose 10% in May. Estimated bookings fell 9% to 11% in the month.
But with financial comparisons becoming easier later this year, the Street may be sniffing out stronger financial updates from Roblox.
McTernan is also keen on Roblox better monetizing its user base by diving deeper into advertising and selling in-game products via a marketplace.
On top of that, he doesn’t expect a recession in the U.S. to be detrimental to the Roblox recovery story.
"Roblox specifically, monthly active users pay about $20 a month for the platform,” McTernan said. “So it's not a huge monthly expense for a household.”

Roblox: You Don't Have to Imagine That a Base Has Developed
By: TheStreet | July 7, 2022
Roblox Corp. (RBLX) advertises itself as an "Imagination Platform" that allows its users to develop or play millions of 3D online games. In our May 12 review of RBLX here we wrote that "With no bottom in sight, traders and investors should avoid the long side of RBLX. The path of least resistance is down for now."
The price of RBLX has turned sideways and has shown renewed strength in the past two weeks or so. Let's check the charts again.
In the daily bar chart of RBLX, below, we can see that the shares have firmed above the bottoming 50-day moving average line. The slope of the 200-day line is negative and intersects above the market around $63.
The trading volume in the past two months has been very strong and suggests that new hands have entered the market. The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has shown a rise from early May and thus tells us that buyers are now acting more aggressively.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator has recently moved above the zero line for a fresh outright buy signal.
In the weekly Japanese candlestick chart of RBLX, below, we see a much improved picture compared to what was visible in early May. We can see a decent hammer pattern in May to mark a low. Prices have bottomed.
The OBV line stabilized in June and the MACD oscillator has crossed to the upside for a cover shorts buy signal.
In this daily Point and Figure chart of RBLX, below, we can see an upside price target in the $56 area.
Bottom-line strategy: Traders could probe the long side of RBLX at current levels risking to $28. The Point and Figure chart suggests a rally to the mid-$50s.

Roblox Corp (RBLX) Stock Lost a Bull. Metaverse Competition and User Slowdown Were Factors
By: Barron's | June 17, 2022
Truist Securities is no longer recommending Roblox stock to its clients on the back of its slowing growth and rising competitive threats for the metaverse opportunity.
On Friday, analyst Matthew Thornton lowered his rating for the online-gaming company’s shares to Hold from Buy, while reducing his price target to $29 from $36.
Roblox’s (ticker: RBLX ) “May metrics were weak,” he wrote, adding the company now ranks last on valuation, stock volatility, and business visibility in his industry coverage.
Roblox stock is up 1.4% to $25.03 in Friday trading.
Earlier this week, Roblox said bookings for May would drop about 9% to 11% year over year with a negative impact of 4 percentage points coming from exchange-rate headwinds. The company also said daily-active-user growth was up 17% for the time period, down from 23% growth in the prior month.
While Thornton said Roblox has an early lead working on the metaverse opportunity, he believes competition from Meta Platforms ( META ) could become a problem given the technology giant’s higher level of financial resources.
Many technology companies have been investing aggressively in the metaverse—the futuristic vision where consumers can some day play, socialize, and work in immersive virtual worlds. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has lost more than $20 billion over the last three years on projects tied to the metaverse.
It isn’t just Meta. The analyst said Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite and the Unreal game engine platform, is a concern for Roblox. In April, Sony , and KIRKBI, the company behind Lego, invested $1 billion each into Epic to accelerate its work in building the metaverse.
Roblox did not immediate respond to a request for comment on the Truist report. Its shares have declined by 75% this year following a series of disappointing growth numbers.

Roblox Stock Downgraded to Hold at Truist on Valuation and Competition
By: Investing.com | June 17, 2022
Truist analyst Matthew Thornton cut rating on Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) shares to Hold from Buy after weak May metrics.
The analyst has a $29.00 per share price target on Roblox shares.
Thornton names 4 key reasons behind the downgrade.
1. RBLX screens least favorable on revision trend as the analyst expects the company to continue to invest aggressively;
2. RBLX screens least favorable on valuation;
3. RBLX screens least favorable on exposure to headwinds and tailwinds; and
4. RBLX screens least favorable on capital returns and M&A optionality.
Moreover, the analyst sees a major headwind in rising competition, especially from the new Epic-Lego partnership.
“The former’s expertise in the engine/creator tools (Unreal Engine) and large-scale experiences (Fortnite) and the latter’s brand and overlap with RBLX’s core demo,” Thornton told clients in a note.
Furthermore, “the progress around other platforms, for example Meta's (NASDAQ:META) given that company’s resources, could be a headwind for RBLX (from a newsflow perspective at a minimum).”
Roblox shares are up almost 1% in pre-market Friday.

Roblox (RBLX) Stock Falls on Goldman Sachs Downgrade
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | June 10, 2022
• Goldman Sachs downgraded RBLX to "sell" from "neutral"
• RBLX is on track to extend yesterday's 7.1% drop
Goldman Sachs downgraded Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) to "sell" from "neutral" this morning, sending the shares down 5.3% to trade at $28.88 at last glance. The firm cited a weaker macro environment, lower revenue growth, and broader industry maturation. This move lower has RBLX extending yesterday's 7.1% drop, after Jefferies said the company's user engagement was worsening, though the analyst in coverage raised its price target due to "improving (albeit volatile) group multiples."
On the charts, Roblox stock has struggled to rally from its recent May 10 record low of $21.65, with overhead pressure at its 50-day moving average. Year-to-date, the equity is already down 71.7%.
Despite calls outnumbering puts on an absolute basis, the stock's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 0.80 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) is in the elevated 97th percentile of its annual range. In other words, this suggests puts being picked up at a much faster-than-usual rate over the last two weeks.
For those looking to weigh in, options look like a solid move at the moment. According to its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) tally of 74 out of 100, RBLX has consistently realized bigger returns than options traders have priced in over the last 12 months.

Roblox Struggles to Stay Ahead in a Changing World
By: TheStreet | June 4, 2022
• Roblox's shares are down 71% since January.
"ROBLOX UR STOCK IS DIVING INTO THE MULTIVERSE OF DOCTOR STRANGE," the commenter tweeted, referring to the recent Marvel film. "THIS ISNT HELPING."
That might sound a little harsh, but Roblox Corp. (RBLX), a video game developer, has been hit with some bad mojo in the last few months.
'The Foreseeable Future'
Founded by David Baszucki and the late Erik Casse, Roblox finished down nearly 11% to $30 on June 3, a far, far cry from its all-time closing price high of $134.72, which it reached on Nov. 19. The stock has lost 71% of its value since January, and about $40 billion in market cap evaporated during this time.
The company released Roblox, an online game platform and game creation system, that allows users to program games and play games created by other users.
There are over 202 million monthly active Roblox users worldwide, the company said.
Roblox is free to play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called Robux.
Lately, analysts have not been high on Roblox, which went public on March 10, 2021.
The company missed Wall Street's expectations for two quarters in a row as covid-19 pandemic restrictions eased and users starting going out again.
Roblox said in a letter to shareholders that "we expect to continue to report net losses for the foreseeable future even as we anticipate generating net cash from operating activities."
'Flagging User Engagement'
Last month, Kunaal Malde, an analyst with Atlantic Equities, downgraded the company to neutral, saying that flagging user engagement numbers suggest trouble ahead as the company tries to monetize its online gaming platform.
Malde also cut his price target to $30 per share from $60.
Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak expressed concern over the company’s top-line growth in the second half of the year.
Nowak, who lowered his price target from $32 to $27, predicted that increased investments to developers may negatively affect the company’s margins, while questioning the dilutive impact of certain stock compensation options offered by the company.
While the first-quarter was "better than feared," Novak said he remains cautious on revenue trends into the second half and 2023.
The analyst reiterated his “equal weight” rating but warned of a potential bear case where the stock drops as low as $15 per share.
'Lost Touch With its Community'
Roblox has also been battered on social media.
“Dad, buy ROBLOX stock” the kids said," one tweet read. “It will be fun” they said… -51%"
"The problem lies in PR and community interaction" one person tweeted, "now that they realize that they no longer need to try in order to make money, they can cut down the unnecessary and focus on whats more important like their stock, roblox had lost its touch with the community."
Another commenter gave the company something of backhanded compliment by posting an image of actress Amber Heard that listed her net worth as negative $8 million, after her ex-husband Johnny Depp was awarded $10 million in a defamation case.
"This is worse than roblox stock," the person declared. "holy sh@t"
'This is Not Attractive'
Roblox has a big presence in the metaverse, which lately appears to be losing some of its sheen.
Marc Petit, Epic Games’ VP and general manager of Unreal Engine, told Yahoo Finance recently that "people have kind of lost interest in the metaverse, because characters look like cartoons with no legs."
“I mean, who wants to be that?" he asked. "This is not attractive.”
A survey conducted by Axios and market research software company Momentive found that 60% of the respondents were unfamiliar with the idea of a metaverse.
Among those who are familiar with the metaverse, 50% were neither scared nor excited about it, while 35% were more scared and 14% are more excited.
And Roblox has been accused by the YouTube channel People Make Games for exploiting young video game developers by taking an outsized share of revenue made from games on their platform.
'Continuous Innovation'
Baszucki reiterated the company's growth during the May 11 analysts call: daily active users totaled 54 million for the first quarter, up 28% year-over-year and the highest ever.
Hours of engagement were up 22%, while bookings were at $631 million for the first quarter, which was 3% below the year ago total. Roblox also generated over $150 million of net cash and $100 million of free cash in the first quarter.
"March, we believe, was our most difficult month lapping Covid," Baszucki said, according to a transcript of the call. "And what is really exciting is all of the user gains generally we accrued during Covid, we've kept."
Still, he added, "our bookings are highly correlated with hours of engagement, and our hours have decreased in some cohorts as we've emerged from Covid."
"We continue to believe that part of the long-term growth for our company is continuous innovation," Baszucki said.
