Roblox
Interactive entertainment platform Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX) has seen its stock price rise by about 18.6% over the past 12 months, thanks to a year-to-date gain of around 18.5%. Then Roblox reported preliminary March metrics that included a drop of 1.7% in daily active users to 66.2 million, still higher than last year’s average of 65 million. The March numbers may have been okay, but that was not good enough. Maybe Wednesday’s earnings report will juice the shares. But Roblox needs to show revenue growth and a solid outlook for more because the company still pursues growth rather than profitability.
