Roblox Stock Faces Death Cross As Mixed Earnings, Downgraded Outlook Signal Trouble Ahead

Author: Surbhi Jain | May 29, 2024 01:44pm

Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX) stock saw a 28% decline year-to-date and an 18.74% drop over the past year.

The video game developer’s recent first-quarter earnings report showed some positive aspects, with a beat in GAAP EPS but missed expectations in bookings.

Despite revenue growth and an increase in key user metrics, such as Average Daily Active Users and engagement hours, the stock faced downward pressure due to a weaker-than-expected bookings forecast for the upcoming quarter and a lowered forecast for the remainder of 2024.

This outlook led to a downgrade by Roth MKM analyst Eric Handler, who also reduced the price target for Roblox stock from $55 to $35.
