Check Out What Whales Are Doing With ROKU

On Friday, JP Morgan analyst Brent Navon maintained a Buy rating on Roku (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ROKU/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $100</a>.
Roku is a leading video streaming platform company that provides access to a wide array of content via its hardware devices and operating software.
Over the last decade, the media and entertainment industry has undergone a significant secular shift toward streaming.

Roku has been at the forefront of this by enabling households in the US (and increasingly internationally) to rapidly adopt and consume new forms of video entertainment.
Their array of streaming devices/TVs and user-friendly software have led Roku to amass a market-leading position and a substantial user base.
Navon noted that Roku is poised to enter the next phase of monetization, which will drive revenue and profitability growth in the foreseeable future.
Driven by its culture of technological innovation and the rapid growth of streaming, Roku has acquired significant scale. It has over 90 million active accounts, which streamed over 125 billion hours in 2024.
While in the past 10+ years Roku 1.0 was all about building this large scale, we expect Roku 2.0 to be about monetizing that base while also reflecting the substantial engagement of the Roku platform.
Navon noted this scale is an underappreciated asset and is the crux of his bullish thesis.
Roku has a notable scope for expanding its top and bottom lines and should benefit from several favorable industry trends and company-specific actions. These include growth in CTV advertising, secular growth in streaming video domestically and internationally, improving fill rates (the % of ad spaces being successfully filled) of their advertising business, which Navon estimated are &lt;40% via third-party partnerships with DSPs and moderating headwinds within the M&amp;E segment.
Roku trades at ~21 times Navon&#8217;s calendar 2026 free cash flow, a ~45% premium to peers in ad tech, and a ~6% premium to peers in M&amp;E/Streaming. The price objective is based on ~27 times Navon&#8217;s 2026 free cash flow estimate, which is an 88% premium to advertising/ad tech and a 38% premium to M&amp;E/Streaming.
Navon noted that Roku&#8217;s combination of attractive top-line growth, improving profitability, and a long runway for growth warrants a premium valuation.
Over the next three years, Navon projected revenue growth of a 12% CAGR, an EBITDA CAGR of 37%, and a free cash flow CAGR of 50%.
Navon projected first-quarter revenue of $1.01 billion and EPS loss of $(0.28).
Price Action: ROKU stock is down 3.08% at $73.71 at last check Friday.

Roku's Next Chapter: Analyst Sees Big Gains From Streaming And Ad Expansion

Technology companies using a subscription-based business model are more likely to weather economic uncertainty amid the ongoing big-tech selloff, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer. The charts of both Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) showcase a bullish trend based on the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
What Happened: Chartist Bob Lang&#8216;s analysis, reviewed by Cramer, indicates positive outlooks for Spotify and Netflix, with potential for Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>). Cramer highlights their subscription models&#8217; resilience amidst macroeconomic uncertainty.
"If I were to do this, I would buy common stock Spotify, I would buy common stock Netflix, and I would buy calls on Roku – that way I cut off my downside," said Cramer on his Mad Money <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/jim-cramer-chart-shows-how-netflix-spotify-can-weather-uncertainty.html">show</a> on Monday.
Why It Matters: Here&#8217;s an analysis of Netflix and Spotify&#8217;s daily charts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix</h3>
Netflix was higher by 9.62% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming many tech peers, highlighted Cramer. He says that its daily charts reveal a recent rebound with high volume and the MACD exhibits a bullish crossover, a significant positive signal.
According to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX&#8217;s share price of $971.99 apiece as of Monday&#8217;s close was trading above its short and long-term trading averages, whereas its relative strength index of 54 was in the neutral zone.
However, the momentum indicator MACD indicates that the stock is in a bearish trend as the score of its MACD line was -2.52, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
However, the histogram has a positive number of 6.14, meaning that the MACD line is rising and getting closer to the signal line. This is a bullish sign within a bearish trend. It shows that the bearish momentum is decreasing.

Netflix, Spotify Can Weather Economic Uncertainty Because Of Subscription-Based Models, Says Jim Cramer: Here's What Their Charts Indicate

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 Unusual Options Activity For March 21

Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday following the announcement that Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) launched its Truth+ streaming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44398390/trump-media-launches-truth-on-roku-calling-it-the-singular-option-for-non-woke-tv">app on the Roku platform.</a>
What To Know: The app is designed to offer an alternative to mainstream entertainment and news, focusing on content the company claims is more in line with conservative values. Truth+ will initially provide live TV channels and plans to expand with Video on Demand content soon. The platform features news, documentaries, weather, children&#8217;s programming and faith-based content.
Trump Media&#8217;s CEO Devin Nunes emphasized the service is intended to counter what he described as &#8220;discredited legacy news channels&#8221; and the "woke" entertainment industry. Nunes also stated the service would be supported by the company's custom Content Delivery Network, designed to prevent what they see as interference from major tech companies.
"Truth+ is the singular option for non-woke TV and movies, as well as a great alternative to discredited legacy news channels that have squandered the trust of the American people," Nunes said.
ROKU Price Action: Roku shares closed Wednesday up 7.10% at $72.14 and Trump media shares were up 2.49% at $20.59, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Trump Media Launches Truth+ On Roku, Calling It 'The Singular Option For Non-Woke TV'

Trump Media Announces Launch Of Truth+ Streaming On Roku Channel Store

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/06/39294523/cathie-wood-ark-invest-set-new-2-600-price-target-for-tesla-every-car-becomes-an-ai-powered-c">maintains her ambitious $2,600 price target</a> for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) by 2029—valuing the company at over $9 trillion—despite the stock&#8217;s near 41% decline since the beginning of the year.
&#8220;It&#8217;s winner take most,&#8221; Wood said of Tesla&#8217;s position in the autonomous vehicle race during <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2025-03-11/cathie-wood-on-what-s-next-for-ai-tesla-big-tech-tsla?srnd=phx-markets">Bloomberg&#8217;s "Odd Lots" podcast</a>. &#8220;And we do believe that Tesla will be and is in the pole position here in the United States.&#8221;
Wood sees robotaxis as an $8 trillion to $10 trillion opportunity that could transform Tesla from an auto manufacturer to a software company. She predicts autonomous vehicles will boost Tesla&#8217;s gross margins from the current 16% to up to 90%, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/03/04/elon-musk-inventor-of-our-age-doge-distracted-cathie-wood-tesla-stock/">Fortune</a>.

</ul>
Wood's bullish outlook hasn&#8217;t translated into strong performance for her flagship $6 billion ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), where Tesla <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk">represents the largest holding at 10.74%</a>. The fund has gained just 2% over the past five years while the S&amp;P 500 has nearly doubled.&nbsp;
ARKK is down more than 16% year-to-date.
However, retail investors added nearly $300 million to ARKK on Monday—its largest single-day inflow in two years, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-11/arkk-fans-plow-300-million-into-battered-etf-despite-big-losses?embedded-checkout=true">according to Bloomberg</a>. It came despite the fund tumbling about 9% that day amid a broader market selloff.
Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co., told Bloomberg that retail investors are buying tech stocks as the sector has taken a beating this year. The &#8220;buy-the-dip&#8221; mentality is strong, according to Bloomberg, particularly among those seeking Tesla exposure.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
Wood called Musk &#8220;the inventor of our age&#8221; and dismissed concerns that his role heading the Department of Government Efficiency would distract from Tesla. &#8220;He&#8217;s surrounded himself by businesspeople and engineers who want to work on the hardest projects in the world,&#8221; she said.
Beyond Tesla, Wood anticipates an &#8220;R&amp;D explosion in health care,&#8221; with CRISPR Therapeutics AG (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRSP#NASDAQ">CRSP</a>) representing <a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk">nearly 6% of ARKK&#8217;s portfolio</a>. She compared President Donald Trump&#8217;s second term to the &#8220;Reagan revolution,&#8221; calling that era &#8220;the heyday, golden age of active management.&#8221;
Despite Monday&#8217;s inflow, ARKK hasn&#8217;t seen a monthly net positive since December 2023, according to Bloomberg.&nbsp;
Bloomberg noted that many of ARKK&#8217;s top holdings from November 2021 remain unchanged, including Tesla, Roku (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), and Shopify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>)—none of which have kept pace with the broader market since then.
