Needham analyst Laura Martin reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of Hooker Furnishings Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOFT#NASDAQ">HOFT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ROKU/analyst-ratings">with a price forecast of $120.00.</a>
Roku has three revenue streams: hardware, advertising, and subscription revenue shares, said the analyst.
Subscription revenue shares are considered a key growth driver for Roku&#8217;s revenue and valuation in the next two years. The analyst estimated that revenue shares from SVOD streaming services accounted for 48% of Roku&#8217;s total reported Platform Segment revenues in 2024.
Subscription revenue shares provide stable, annuity-like income, with software contributing over 85% in 2024.
Roku&#8217;s DSP integrations were a key investment positive in the first-quarter 2025, with platforms like The Trade Desk, Google DV360, Yahoo, and Adobe already integrated. Amazon, Viant, and others are working on integrations, noted the analyst.

These partnerships should boost revenue growth, as Roku sells 50% of its ad units. DSPs take 15% of brand spending, and with Roku&#8217;s fixed costs, incremental margins from DSP demand exceed 80%.
These integrations expand Roku&#8217;s total addressable market by attracting new advertisers.
Investors are optimistic about Roku&#8217;s home screen as a revenue driver, though it lags behind Vizio&#8217;s model.
While the home page holds major revenue potential, Roku&#8217;s current execution is considered suboptimal, offering room for growth.
Roku&#8217;s growth potential is bolstered by its expansion into small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and its emerging Retail Media Network (RMN) capabilities.
The Roku Channel (TRC) is expected to drive revenue growth in 2025, with February 2025 data showing TRC accounted for 2.1% of total U.S. streaming hours and experienced an 89% increase in viewership.
This is much higher than its competitors like Prime, Pluto, and YouTube. Additionally, there&#8217;s potential for ad revenue per home to grow significantly, narrowing the gap with linear TV.
Roku&#8217;s return on invested capital (ROIC) is also expected to improve, with cash from operations projected to double in 2025 and continue growing through 2026. This increase in asset productivity is likely to boost Roku&#8217;s share price, said the analyst.
Roku faces ongoing challenges in competing with big tech companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon in the advertising space.
Meanwhile, its continued growth despite heavy competition suggests it will keep expanding. The company&#8217;s venture into TV manufacturing has raised concerns about device margins and free cash flow, but these concerns are more sentiment-driven, as TV sales make up a small portion of Roku&#8217;s total revenue, concluded the analyst.
Price Action: ROKU shares traded higher by 2.01% at $79.87 at last check Monday.

Roku Has 'War Time' CEO? Analyst Says Yes And Sees More New Positives For The Company

Home furnishings provider Hooker Furnishings Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOFT#NASDAQ">HOFT</a>) is planning to close its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44456436" rel="noreferrer noopener">distribution center in Savannah, Georgia.</a>
This action is part of the company&#8217;s broader strategy to optimize its operations and consolidate its facilities. The closure follows a series of operational difficulties at the Savannah location, which opened in October 2021.
The distribution center was originally established to support the Home Meridian segment&#8217;s Accentrics Home (ACH) brand.
Hooker Furnishings encountered challenges as the increase in container freight rates post-COVID, which surged from approximately $4,000 to more than $25,000 per container, weakened the competitive standing of the ACH brand.

&#8220;The sharp rise in container freight rates made ACH&#8217;s once-thriving line of high-volume, lower-priced, low-margin accent items unsustainable,&#8221; said CEO Jeremy R. Hoff.
&#8220;Despite the temporary elevation in freight rates, it became obvious ACH&#8217;s business model would continue to be high-risk and low reward. In 2024, we liquidated its inventory and closed ACH, part of a larger plan to exit unprofitable businesses at HMI.&#8221;
As part of the exit process, Hooker Furnishings is evaluating the financial effects and has indicated that it expects net charges ranging from $1.6 million to $2.0 million for fiscal 2025, with additional charges of $3.0 million to $4.0 million for fiscal 2026.
The company also forecasts net operating expense savings between $750,000 and $1.0 million for fiscal 2026. Further information will be available in the earnings release scheduled for April 17, 2025.
Looking ahead, the company anticipates annual savings of $4.0 million to $4.5 million starting in fiscal 2027, once the operations are fully consolidated into the remaining facilities.
Meanwhile, these estimates are preliminary, and final costs and savings will depend on the timing of the distribution center&#8217;s closure and other variables.
Price Action: HOFT shares traded lower by 0.95% at $11.50 at last check Monday.

This compares to earnings of $0.07 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -46.15%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this home furnishings company would post a loss of $0.03 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.39, delivering a surprise of -1,200%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Hooker Furniture, which belongs to the Zacks Furniture industry, posted revenues of $95.08 million for the quarter ended July 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.65%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $97.81 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.

<h2>What&#39;s Next for Hooker Furniture?</h2>
While Hooker Furniture has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Hooker Furniture: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.23 on $106.38 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.01 on $403.85 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Hooker Furniture Reports Q1 Loss, Lags Revenue Estimates

&quot;While we are disappointed to report a rare operating loss this quarter, the loss was almost entirely driven by the sales reductions in each segment, and we strongly believe we&#39;ll return to profitability once demand and revenues rebound,&quot;&nbsp;said Jeremy Hoff, Chief Executive Officer.&nbsp;

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Hooker Furnishings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOFT#NASDAQ">HOFT</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Monday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 23 cents per share. On Friday, Hooker Furnishings will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 23 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own HOFT as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 23 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 29, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
