“Roblox’s exceptional Q3 results demonstrate the strength of our platform and the effectiveness of our growth strategies. We’re particularly proud of the progress we’ve made in empowering creators, fostering social connections, and expanding our global reach. As we look ahead, we remain committed to building the world’s largest social platform for play, and we’re confident that our continued innovation and focus on safety will drive long-term value for our shareholders and the broader Roblox community,” said David Baszucki, founder and CEO of Roblox.

Company Overview
Best known for its wide assortment of user-generated content, Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) is an online gaming platform and game creation system.

Video Gaming
Since videogames were invented in the 1970s, they have gradually taken more share of entertainment time. Ubiquitous mobile devices have powered a surge in “snackable” games that can be played on the go. Over time, games have developed more social engagement features where friends can play games together over the internet. The business models of games publishers have become less volatile due to digitization of distribution, in game monetization, and like Hollywood, an increasing dependence on surefire hit franchises. Covid driven lockdowns accelerated adoption and usage of videogames – a trend that has not slowed.

Sales Growth
A company’s long-term performance can give signals about its business quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last three years, Roblox grew its sales at an exceptional 26.5% compounded annual growth rate. This is encouraging because it shows Roblox’s offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point.

Roblox Total Revenue
This quarter, Roblox reported robust year-on-year revenue growth of 28.8%, and its $919 million of revenue topped Wall Street estimates by 3.9%. Management is currently guiding for a 26.3% year-on-year increase next quarter.

Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 19.9% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. This projection is still noteworthy and shows the market sees success for its products and services.

When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we’ve found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

User Growth
As a video gaming company, Roblox generates revenue growth by expanding both the number of people playing its games as well as how much each of those players spends on (or in) their games.

Over the last two years, Roblox’s daily active users, a key performance metric for the company, increased by 21.6% annually to 88.9 million in the latest quarter. This growth rate is among the fastest of any consumer internet business and indicates its platform's popularity is exploding.

In Q3, Roblox added 18.7 million daily active users, leading to 26.6% year-on-year growth. The quarterly print was higher than its two-year result, suggesting its new initiatives are accelerating user growth.

Revenue Per User
Average revenue per user (ARPU) is a critical metric to track for consumer internet businesses like Roblox because it measures how much revenue each user generates, which is a function of how much paying users spend on its games.

Roblox’s ARPU growth has been subpar over the last two years, averaging 1.6%. This isn’t great, but the increase in daily active users is more relevant for assessing long-term business potential. We’ll monitor the situation closely; if Roblox tries boosting ARPU by taking a more aggressive approach to monetization, it’s unclear whether users can continue growing at the current pace.

This quarter, Roblox’s ARPU clocked in at $10.34. It grew 1.7% year on year, slower than its user growth.

Key Takeaways from Roblox’s Q3 Results
We enjoyed seeing Roblox increase its number of users this quarter. We were also excited its revenue, bookings, and EPS outperformed Wall Street’s estimates. On the other hand, its full-year revenue and EBITDA guidance missed analysts’ expectations. Overall, this quarter was softer due to the weaker guidance, but the market seems very excited about the 10%+ bookings beat (bookings also accelerated from 22% year-on-year growth last quarter to 34% this quarter). The stock traded up 17.3% to $50.62 immediately following the results.

I can receive PMs though, only can't respond rightaway.Will touch base with you friday during Happy Hour anyway. For me, it's not the $ amount of paid membership that is stopping me,it's just that I'm trying to be disciplined and focussed.Thanks

What I have to give you is worth its weight in plutonium. There is no I-hub board for that stock yet.

lol,no! I do much better with the mega/large caps. But wholly agree that the microcaps have the BIG moves %wise. Used to play only the micros earlier but found the bigger caps are safer. So basically, my strategy has been approx 60/40 in the biggies/smallies. As for Ihub, I used to be a paid member few years ago, but realized that it made me distracted from actual trading/learning(the tempting overdose of posting/replying to irrelevant issues wasted a lot of precious trading time,I felt).This way I have the right dose of meassage boards,haha!

Dude, you should stick with the micro caps, those are the ones where we make our bread and butter $$$ stocks under $5.00. You should get a paid membership to I-hub, it's only $12.99 a month. I have a gem of a sleeper trading 60 cents and I can PM you the ticker :)

Thanks sub.RBLX has always been a volatile trading stock,been a repeat for me for the past almost 2 years now. Buy on dips,it always comes back. I grabbed the minute I saw the negative report this morming at avg 37.60, not too worried about the CFO leaving(SEC filing says "As previously reported, on August 1, 2024"), might be old news and already baked in.

IMHO it's very overpriced and that 8k with the CFO leaving concerns me, I would be very cautious here.

CNBC been having segments on RBLX Hindenburg report since PM,one just going on now.
Almost back at $40 now!

Grabbed some in PM, the report not very convincing.But what do I know,lol!
RBLX has just rebuuted the Hindenburg report,let's see where this goes

Roblox Stock Bounces Back After Bull Note
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 23, 2024

• J.P. Morgan Securities upgraded RBLX to "overweight"

• The stock is down 20.4% in 2024, making for an intriguing entry point

Shares of Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) are 5.2% higher at $36.79 at last glance, following a bull note from J.P. Morgan Securities. The analyst upgraded the video game stock to "overweight" from "neutral" and hiked its price target by $7 to $48, citing significant monetization opportunities and compounding free cash flow.

Up 11.2% over the last six months, RBLX still sports a 20.4% year-to-date deficit. A recent rally attempt was thwarted by the security's 100-day moving average.

Coming into today, the brokerage bunch was mostly bullish, but there's room for some pessimism to unwind. This is because eight of the 23 covering brokerages rate Roblox stock a "hold" or "strong sell."

Forward Looking Guidance

Roblox provides its initial full year and first quarter 2024 GAAP and non-GAAP guidance:

Full Year 2024 Guidance

Revenue between $3,300 million and $3,400 million.
Bookings between $4,140 million and $4,280 million.

Adjusted EBITDA between $(150) million and $(115) million (A), which includes:
Increase in deferred revenue between $852 million and $892 million.
Increase in deferred cost of revenue between $(172) million and $(177) million.
The total of these changes in deferrals between $680 million and $715 million. (B)

Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is used in certain covenant calculations specified in the indenture governing our senior notes due 2030 and is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not conform to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by other companies.
