Why Roblox Stock Crashed Today
Shares of video game platform Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) crashed on Thursday after the company reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024 that exceeded expectations. Yes, financial results were better than expected, but investors are nonetheless worried about some trends in the business. And that's why Roblox stock was down 11% as of 11 a.m. ET.
This is admittedly a complicated story and market reaction.
In isolation, Roblox's numbers were good. Q4 revenue of $988 million was up a whopping 32% year over year and ahead of its guidance of $935 million to $960 million. And other metrics, such as bookings, free cash flow, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were all as good or better than management's guidance. If investors only looked at these numbers, they'd be celebrating.
