Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock is in the news today with investors wondering if the set-top box company’s shares are worth buying after its most recent earnings report.
Roku released its earnings report for the first quarter of 2022 after-hours Thursday. This saw it bring in diluted earnings per share of -19 cents. That’s better than the -21 cents per share that Wall Street was estimating. Even if it’s a negative switch from the 54 cents per share reported during the same time last year.
On top of that, the streaming company brought in revenue of $733.7 million. That’s another win for ROKU stock next to analysts’ estimate of $718.56 million. It’s also a 28% year-over-year growth from $574.18 million.
If there’s one thing keeping the earnings report from being completely positive, it’s Roku’s outlook for Q2 2022. It’s expecting revenue of $805 million. This would have it missing Wall Street’s estimate of $815.73 million.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at what analysts have to say about ROKU following its Q1 earnings report.
Is ROKU Stock a Buy?
- Rosenblatt Securities analyst Barton Crockett maintained a “buy” rating for ROKU with a price target of $187 per share.
- Deutsche Bank dropped its price target for ROKU shares to $150 from $210 after earnings.
- JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter decreased his price target for the company’s shares to $175 from $225 but kept an “overweight” rating.
- Stephens continues the lowered price target trend with a new prediction of $190 as compared to its previous $230 target.
ROKU stock is up 6.8% as of Friday afternoon.
