Does Roblox Q2 earnings signal a gaming industry rebound?

by August 1, 2024
written by August 1, 2024

Roblox Corp (NYSE: RBLX) is seeing a premarket boost on Thursday after reporting impressive financial results for its second quarter, showcasing a 21% year-on-year increase in daily active users (DAUs). This strong performance signals a broader rebound in the gaming industry.

In Q2, Roblox narrowed its loss to 32 cents per share and saw a 31% increase in revenue, reaching $893.5 million. 

Analysts had predicted losses at 37 cents per share and revenue of $898 million. The company ended the quarter with 79.5 million DAUs, up from 65.7 million a year ago and exceeding the expected 76.39 million. This surge in user engagement highlights Roblox’s growing influence in the gaming sector.

Robust user engagement boosts Roblox’s performance

Roblox reported a total loss of $206 million for the quarter, a significant improvement from the $283 million loss the previous year. 

The company’s bookings rose by 22% year-over-year to $955 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $897 million.

David Baszucki, CEO of Roblox Corp, highlighted the company’s success, stating, “The dynamic Roblox content ecosystem is unique and continues to attract users of all ages from across the globe. Going forward, we will continue to invest in our core platform to help our creator community build better and safer experiences and reach more people.”

Roblox’s second quarter also saw a 24% increase in hours engaged, totaling 17.4 billion hours. 

This underscores the popularity of the diverse, high-quality content on its platform. Wall Street analysts currently rate Roblox stock as “overweight” on average, reflecting confidence in its future growth.

Roblox gains on upbeat guidance

Roblox slightly improved its average booking per user to $12.01 in the second quarter and forecasts bookings of up to $4.23 billion for 2024. 

Despite the positive Q2 performance, the company’s full-year forecast for adjusted EBITDA and revenue, set at $92 million to $132 million and $3.49 billion to $3.54 billion respectively, fell short of the $4.08 billion revenue forecast by experts.

The rise in Roblox’s stock price is noteworthy, especially given the modest full-year forecast. 

Market analyst Ritesh A. predicted in June that if bullish momentum continued, Roblox stock could reach $50 in the coming months. 

Currently, RBLX is trading at $45. However, it remains less attractive for income investors as it does not pay a dividend.

Roblox’s strong Q2 earnings report, marked by significant growth in daily active users and improved financial performance, underscores a promising rebound in the gaming industry. 

With continued investment in its platform and a focus on user engagement, Roblox is well-positioned for future growth despite some conservative full-year forecasts. 

The company’s innovative approach and expanding user base make it a key player to watch in the evolving gaming landscape.
