The Sweetest Streamer: A Tasty Morsel for Investors

by

Ah, dear reader, gather close! Let us whisper of Roku (ROKU), a stock that’s been waltzing through the markets like a sugarplum fairy in a tutu made of dollar bills. Up 28% this year already, it’s giving the grumpy old market a cheeky wink from atop its candy-cane-striped balance sheet.

Now, this is no ordinary confection. Roku-the wizard who first sprinkled magic dust on clunky televisions to make them “smart”-has baked itself a fresh gingerbread man of profitability.

You might think such a lollipop of a stock would cost a king’s ransom. But lo! It’s still trading at less than half the price of its 2021 glory days-a ghost of a giant, now nibbling on penny candies.

Ad dollars, those mischievous little imps, are scampering away from dusty old linear TV like rats from a sinking ship.

Time to polish your investing monocle, my friend. When Roku’s quarterly report bursts onto the stage October 30th-like a pyrotechnic magician in a top hat-it’ll show Wall Street a trick or two. Profit beats of 25%? Child’s play! This is a company that’s learned to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle called “sustainability.” 🎯
