Notable Two Hundred Day Moving Average Cross - ABNB

Roku ROKU is slated to report second-quarter 2025 results on July 31.
For the second quarter of 2025, Roku expects total net revenues of approximately $1.07 billion, indicating an increase of 11% year over year. The company anticipates Platform revenues to grow 14% year over year, and Devices revenues are expected to decline 10% year over year. It expects first-quarter total gross profit of approximately $465 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $70 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.07 billion, suggesting year-over-year growth of 10.79%. The consensus mark for loss is pinned at 16 cents per share. The estimate indicates year-over-year growth of 33.33%.
ROKU’s Estimate Movement

ROKU’s Earnings Surprise History
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 29.63%. The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 51.15%.
Earnings Whispers for ROKU
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Roku this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
ROKU has an Earnings ESP of +7.41% and carries a Zacks Rank #2 at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Shaping Upcoming Results of Roku
As Roku gears up to report second-quarter 2025 earnings, investors should consider buying the stock. It is expected to deliver positive revenue growth and earnings beat. Roku formed various partnerships and got sponsorships during and after its first quarter, with companies such as Airbnb ABNB, Walmart WMT, Amazon AMZN, and Adobe, all of which are expected to have aided its advertising and streaming business in the quarter to be reported.
In the first quarter, Roku’s romantic comedy This Time Next Year was sponsored by Airbnb, while Walmart partnered on its first shoppable content, Roku Recipes. These initiatives were designed to boost advertiser interest in The Roku Channel. With Airbnb and Walmart both reinforcing their collaboration, and the launch of an AI-driven content row enhancing personalized recommendations, The Roku Channel saw 84% year-over-year growth in streaming hours in the prior quarter, a trend likely to be sustained in the quarter under review, benefiting Roku’s top line.
Coming to subscriptions, Roku reported building tens of millions of subscriptions each month, with growing user participation in subscription offers. This is expected to have continued into the quarter to be reported. In the first quarter, it acquired Frndly TV, a subscription streaming service. This move is expected to have helped Roku in gaining more subscriptions, directly impacting Platform revenues in the quarter to be reported.
In June, Roku partnered with Amazon Ads to access 80 million U.S. Connected TV households through Amazon DSP. This recent partnership with Amazon is likely to have strengthened Roku’s advertising business in the quarter under review. Earlier partnerships, such as with Adobe’s Real-Time CDP and INCRMNTAL, helped drive ROI for advertisers and capture more budget in the first quarter, setting the stage for continued Platform revenue growth in the second quarter.
However, the Devices segment is expected to have remained a drag on Roku’s profitability. The segment’s margins are projected by the company to have remained negative in the second quarter. Although Roku launched new device line-ups in the United States and markets outside, it does not focus on growing the segment’s revenues in the short term, as it varies quarter to quarter.
Top-Line Growth Estimates for Q2
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2025 Devices revenues is pegged at $129 million, and for Platform revenues, it is pinned at $943 million.
ROKU Price Performance & Stock Valuation
Shares of Roku have gained 25.7% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the S&P 500 index’s growth of 10% and 8.2%, respectively.
ROKU’s YTD Price Performance
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
From a valuation perspective, Roku currently trades at a price-to-cash flow ratio of 42.49X, which is at a significant premium compared to the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry average of 32.84X. This valuation gap suggests that investors have high growth expectations for this stock. As of March 31, 2025, Roku generated $310.1 million in operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, highlighting strong cash-generating ability. Roku’s growing scale justifies this premium valuation. ROKU has a Value Score of D.

Investment Considerations
Roku continues to demonstrate strong platform fundamentals with robust user engagement, innovative Home Screen monetization, and expanding partnerships across the advertising and streaming ecosystem. With expected double-digit growth in Platform revenues for the second quarter of 2025 and consistent earnings surprises in recent quarters, the company is poised to deliver another solid performance. Strategic collaborations with brands have strengthened its advertising capabilities, while the success of AI-powered content discovery and the acquisition of Frndly TV support ongoing subscription growth. Backed by strong cash flow and year-to-date stock gains, Roku remains an attractive opportunity for growth-focused investors.
Conclusion
Roku’s platform momentum remains strong, supported by double-digit growth in Platform revenues, consistent earnings surprises, and rising engagement fueled by AI-powered content discovery and strategic partnerships. Innovations in Home Screen monetization and successful collaborations with brands highlight the company’s ability to scale and adapt in the evolving streaming landscape. With solid top-line growth, strong operating cash flow, and expanding monetization opportunities, Roku presents a compelling entry point for long-term investors.

Validea Detailed Fundamental Analysis - ABNB

Key Points
Airbnb faces regulatory hurdles that management must attempt to overcome.
The company benefits from significant demographic tailwinds.
Airbnb is a cash-flow machine and a great stock to own.
The travel industry is a lucrative but tricky realm in which to do business. This is especially true when it comes to short-term rentals. Navigating local regulations and international expansion while satisfying thousands of hosts and even more guests are a few of the daunting challenges faced by Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB), one of the leaders in the space.
Its management is working to increase its cooperation with localities and promote what it views as commonsense regulations while maintaining its ability to operate freely. Still, in some major markets, such as Hawaii, New York City, and Paris, local and state governments have imposed stringent restrictions on how short-term rentals can be operated. Many homeowners' associations also have rules that are unfriendly to owners who want to turn their properties into short-term rentals. However, the news isn't all bad for Airbnb.

The market it operates in is massive and continues to grow. There are also demographic tailwinds, as younger generations tend to gravitate toward Airbnbs more than their parents. Short-term rentals (labelled vacation rentals on the chart below) make up a significant portion of a market that is forecast to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2029.
What does this mean for Airbnb? Cash, and lots of it.
Terrific business model
Airbnb is just a software platform at its core. There is also a customer service element. However, companies in this industry lack the factories, expensive equipment, and other major infrastructure that many other industries have. Property and equipment purchases are often referred to as capex (short for capital expenditures) and reduce the amount of cash a company can keep. Free cash flow is one reason why software companies, such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), often trade at higher valuations than companies in other industries.
For instance, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), a semiconductor designer and manufacturer, spent $5.2 billion on capex in its most recent quarter, a whopping 40% of its revenue. Airbnb spent just $14 million last quarter on capex, less than 1% of its revenue. Meanwhile, its free cash flow -- the amount that's left over after operating expenses and capital expenditures -- has soared.
The $4.4 billion shown above is 40% of revenue over the same period. A 40% free cash flow margin is an incredible figure and bodes well for shareholders.
Airbnb uses its cash to fund growth initiatives and reward shareholders through stock buybacks, which reduce the number of shares available, thereby increasing the value of each remaining share. Think of a company like a giant pizza, and every share is a slice. If the number of slices decreases, each of the remaining slices represents a larger portion of the pizza. Airbnb has repurchased $3.5 billion worth of its stock over the last 12 months, accounting for approximately 4% of its total market capitalization. It's likely to continue in this pattern for a long time, given its fantastic cash-producing business model.
Is Airbnb a buy?
Since free cash flow is what attracts me to Airbnb, the price-to-free-cash-flow ratio is my preferred metric for valuing the company. Airbnb currently trades for around 20 times free cash flow. This is well under its 2024 high of 29, and slightly below its 3-year average of 22. It is also lower than rival Booking Holdings, which trades for 23 times its own excellent free cash flow. In short, Airbnb is a better value based on cold, hard cash.
Booking Holdings is also a fantastic company and is worth having in a portfolio. However, its market cap is more than twice that of Airbnb's, which means that Airbnb could have an easier time growing faster from here. At this valuation, it is an excellent buy-and-hold stock.

Airbnb's Cash Cow Can Thrive Despite Its Challenges

In recent trading, shares of Airbnb Inc (Symbol: ABNB) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $143.42, changing hands for $145.82/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised.
There are 26 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Airbnb Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $105.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $185.00. The standard deviation is $21.701.
But the whole reason to look at the average ABNB price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with ABNB crossing above that average target price of $143.42/share, investors in ABNB have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $143.42 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?
