Roku (ROKU) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
ROKU remains attractively valued despite the recent rally, driven by its nascent advertising opportunities and partnerships, notably with The Trade Desk.

Despite the high FWD EV/EBITDA valuations, ROKU's zero debt, expanding free cash flow, and projected top/ bottom-line growth underscore its robust long-term growth potential.
ROKU soars 44% in 6 months with $1 billion in revenues and 85.5 million households. As the #1 streaming platform in the United States, robust growth plans signal a strong 2025.
