Shareholders are making mincemeat out of Roku (ROKU) this morning on widening losses.
In fact, the stock is down 15%, or $21 a share after posting a third quarter loss of 22 cents, which was worse than estimates for 18 cents.
“ROKU broke a string of 2019 beats reporting a mixed 3Q and a frankly surprisingly mixed 4Q despite its (temporary) leadership position in the distribution of Disney+,” Pivotal Research analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak said, as quoted by CNBC. “We are not surprised by the … decline indication in the stock in the after-market as an undeniably rich 12+X ’20 revenue multiple simply does not leave a lot of room for anything but material beats.”
At the moment, Pivotal has a sell rating on ROKU with a price target of $60.
