Roku Inc. (ROKU) shares tumbled 5.29% in after-hours trading on Thursday, despite reporting better-than-expected second-quarter results and raising its full-year outlook. The streaming platform provider posted earnings per share of $0.07, surpassing analysts' expectations of a $0.15 loss, while revenue reached $1.111 billion, exceeding the estimated $1.072 billion.
The company reported strong performance in its platform segment, with revenue growing 18% year-over-year to $975 million. Roku also raised its full-year 2025 platform revenue outlook to $4.075 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $375 million. Additionally, the company announced a $400 million stock repurchase program aimed at offsetting dilution from employee equity-based compensation.
Despite these positive developments, investors seemed to focus on potential headwinds or unmet expectations. The after-hours plunge might reflect concerns about the sustainability of growth rates, competitive pressures in the streaming industry, or the impact of macroeconomic factors on advertising spending. The appointment of Dan Jedda as the new CFO and COO, while potentially positive for long-term strategy, might also contribute to short-term uncertainty. As the market digests these mixed signals, Roku's stock may experience continued volatility in the coming trading sessions.
