BofA sees improving ad market boosting Roku's outlook as it lifts target

-- Bank of America said improving macroeconomic sentiment and a deepening partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) could support stronger second-half results for Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) Inc, as it raised its price target on the stock to $110 from $100. The broker said advertising trends appeared weak in early April but improved as the quarter progressed, easing some of the pressure seen around Roku's first-quarter results. It now sees potential upside to Roku's full-year outlook, helped by structural changes the company has made, including greater flexibility for third-party demand-side platforms. BofA said Roku's recent agreement with Amazon, which allows advertisers access to Roku's platform-level data, could improve ad performance and planning. The move signals the company's intent to drive greater interoperability across the ecosystem, the note said. The bank raised its 2025 revenue estimate slightly to $4.59 billion, above Roku's $4.55 billion guidance, and lifted projected adjusted EBITDA to $360 million. It also nudged up 2026 forecasts, citing a better environment for digital advertising and ongoing growth in connected TV. BofA reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and said Roku remains well-positioned to benefit from broader trends in streaming and CTV advertising, though it noted that fill rates in the ad business remain below 40%, suggesting room for improvement.

Peloton Stock Is Down 95%: 1 Reason It Could Keep Crashing, and 1 Reason It Might Bounce Back

Peloton became a pandemic darling thanks to surging sales of its stationary exercise equipment. Its equipment sales are now consistently shrinking, but it's turning a profit thanks to steep cost cuts. Peloton stock is down by 95% from its record high, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap. 10 stocks we like better than Peloton Interactive › Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ: PTON) went public in 2019 with a stock price of $29. By December 2020, it had more than quintupled to a record high of $163, as pandemic-related lockdowns and social restrictions triggered surging demand for the company's at-home exercise equipment. But Peloton's sales have plummeted since social conditions returned to normal. The company even faced the prospect of bankruptcy a few years ago as its net losses ballooned to unsustainable levels. As a result, its stock price has plunged by 95% from its record high, and attempted recoveries have been very short-lived. Peloton's management team continues to make changes to turn the company around, and some of them are bearing fruit. With that in mind, here's one reason Peloton stock might keep declining, and one reason it could bounce back. Peloton's annual revenue peaked at $4 billion in fiscal 2021 (which ended on June 30 of that year). Around 78% of that figure was attributable to sales of equipment like its stationary bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, while the other 22% came from subscriptions that customers bought to enhance their fitness journey. But Peloton's revenue sank to $3.5 billion in fiscal 2022, and then to $2.8 billion in fiscal 2023, followed by another drop to $2.7 billion in fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2025 (which just ended on Monday, June 30), management's forecast suggests that revenue fell yet again, to under $2.5 billion. The declines have been driven by shrinking equipment sales, so the composition of Peloton's revenue has changed dramatically over the last few years. Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, equipment sales accounted for just 33% of the company's total revenue, with subscriptions bringing in the other 67%. Management has tried to revive sales by tapping into third-party retailers like Amazon, Dick's Sporting Goods, and even Costco Wholesale, but it hasn't been enough to make up for the organic drop in demand. Lower hardware sales have also affected the subscription business. Connected fitness subscribers are those who own Peloton's equipment and pay a monthly fee to access virtual classes and other benefits, so if the company isn't selling as many bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines, it simply can't attract as many paying members. There were 2.88 million connected fitness subscribers at the end of the fiscal 2025 third quarter (ended March 31), which was a 6% decline from the year-ago period. Peloton tried to unlock a new market by creating a subscription service for fitness enthusiasts who don't own the company's equipment, which includes a mobile application where they can track their progress and even access step-by-step workout routines. Despite generating strong interest initially, this subscriber base is now steadily declining. There were 573,000 members at the end of the recent quarter, which was down 15% from the year-ago period. Peloton's shrinking business is the primary reason for the sharp decline in its stock price, and it's likely to continue trending lower if management can't turn things around. Peloton's business was still set up for growth in fiscal 2022, meaning management was spending heavily on things like marketing and research and development. So, when the company's revenue declined during that year instead, its net loss soared by a staggering 1,390% compared to fiscal 2021. It came in at $2.8 billion on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis. Peloton's preferred measure of profitability is adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). It still lost $982 million on that basis during fiscal 2022. With just $1.2 billion in cash left on its balance sheet at the end of that year, the company couldn't afford to sustain losses of that size for much longer. Management acted quickly to slash costs. By fiscal 2024, Peloton's annual operating expenses had been cut in half relative to their fiscal 2022 peak. The company still lost $552 million on a GAAP basis that year, but its adjusted EBITDA was actually in positive territory to the tune of $3.5 million. Peloton delivered an even better result through the first three quarters of fiscal 2025. It lost $140.5 million on a GAAP basis, but its adjusted EBITDA soared to $263 million. These improving results have allowed the company to pay down some of its long-term debt, which is an important step toward securing its future. It might even give investors the confidence to start moving some money back into Peloton stock. Therefore, if Peloton's bottom line continues trending in this positive direction, it could spark a recovery in its stock price. It can be tempting to buy a stock after a 95% decline because it might be perceived as cheap, and Peloton's valuation is certainly at rock-bottom at the moment. Its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is just 1 -- in other words, its market capitalization is equal to about one year's worth of the company's revenue. It's a long way from its peak of around 20, which suggests that investors aren't feeling great about the prospects of a recovery. While it's great that Peloton's adjusted EBITDA is soaring, its growth is mostly coming from cost cuts, rather than from an increase in sales. Management will eventually run out of costs to cut, and if revenue hasn't started growing again by that point, the company's newfound profitability is likely to slip away. Peloton needs to find a way to increase sales to drive revenue growth, without plunging the company's bottom line back into the red. It hasn't achieved this so far, and I think investors should consider avoiding the stock until it does. Simply put, if Peloton's revenue continues to shrink, then its recent adjusted EBITDA results are likely to be unsustainable over the long term.

Forget Amazon Fire TV Stick, Roku Ultra Streaming Device Hits Its Lowest Price Ahead of Prime Day

While a lot of us make do with the streaming hub built into our smart TVs, there are ways to make things better. The simplest of these is to invest in a dedicated streaming device. There are a few different options on the market that really shine, but one of the most underrated is the Roku Ultra. See at Amazon The Roku Ultra is a premium streaming device, one that offers a huge number of features and is incredibly easy to use. It's also normally $100, which might feel a bit too much for some people. If you love the idea of it but hate the price, then the fact that Amazon has it on sale right now with 21% off is worth paying attention to. That means you can snap it up for $79, and that's a great price for a great device. The Roku Ultra comes with two things. The first is the box, which is really easy to install, and the other is the rechargeable voice remote pro, which has backlit buttons for when you're doing things in the dark, but also enables you to just search for what you want with voice commands. A lot of us are more used to voice controls now, thanks to smart assistants, and it just massively boosts the usability of the device for some people. Along with that, this device makes it easy to access all of your favorite streaming services in one place, and then watch everything in beautiful 4K quality with no lag thanks to the Wi-Fi 6 integration. As long as your TV can handle it, this is going to have your TV shows and films looking better than ever, and you can even pair your headphones directly with the device to make sure you can listen to whatever you're watching without disturbing anyone who might be asleep. The Roku Ultra really is one of the best streaming devices out there, and while not everyone may feel as though they need one, if you've got an older TV or you're just looking to make sure you've got some dedicated tech, this is a great chance to sort that out. After all, while the normal price of $100 isn't too bad, the chance to save 21% on that and get this amazing bit of tech for just $79 is one that shouldn't be missed. Don't hang around though, as there's no way of knowing how long this discount will last. See at Amazon
