Roku: Intensified Ad Monetization And Robust Engagement Trigger Compelling Valuations - Reiterate Buy
Roku remains a great buy as it rebounds from the established Q4 '25 support levels, with the market putting their prior lumpy platform margin concerns behind them. ROKU's ramping up of the Amazon DSP partnership may accelerate the former's advertising monetization, allowing them to tap into the growing CTV ad market size of $46.89B in 2028. This builds upon the robust subscription growth as observed in the streaming share expansion, aided by the completed Frndly TV acquisition and the recent launch of the ad-free tier, Howdy.
Roku: The GAAP Profitability Inflection Is Here
Roku is transitioning from a growth stock to a margin expansion story, with strict cost discipline driving operating leverage and profitability. ROKU's recent results exceeded guidance, with solid gross profit growth and ongoing GAAP profitability, supported by strategic monetization initiatives. Consensus estimates understate the company's margin potential; I expect rapid margin expansion, making the current valuation attractive for long-term investors.
