Roku Beats, But Margin Drift Clouds Rally
Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) beat again in Q2 $1.11 billion revenue, GAAP EPS $0.07, both ahead of expectations but the stock slipped because the story wasn't all clean. Platform revenue was the strength, up 18% to $975.5 million, helped by video ads and the Frndly deal, while device sales fell 6% to $135.6 million. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with BOM:500400. That mix showed up in the margin math: gross margin slid to 44.8%, with platform gross margins softening to 51.0%, and investors focused on that erosion even as the top line surprised. Roku tried to push back. It lifted its full-year platform revenue target to $4.075 billion, said adjusted EBITDA should improve, and rolled out a $400 million buyback to neutralize equity dilution and signal confidence. The message was basically: growth is real, cash flow is coming, and we're backing the stock. Still, the market saw the margin pressure and the need for share support and took it as a warning shot, trimming the stock before the open. Demand is there, but profitability is wobbling a bit. The next few quarters will show whether Roku can get margins back on track and turn that buyback into real per-share value. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
