Roku Stock Holds Market Outperform Rating Amid New Features and Amazon Partnership
Citizens JMP has reiterated its Market Outperform rating and $95.00 price target on Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU), citing the streaming platform's testing of new home screen features designed to enhance content discovery and simplify navigation for users. The target aligns with the broader analyst range of $60-$130, as per InvestingPro data, which also highlights Roku's impressive 17.3% revenue growth over the last twelve months. The research firm emphasized Roku's control over directing viewers to content, particularly its ability to guide users toward The Roku Channel, its proprietary streaming service. This capability could increase monetizable inventory by driving more traffic to Roku's ad-supported channel.
In other developments, Roku announced a partnership with Amazon Ads to create the largest authenticated Connected TV (CTV) reach in the U.S., estimated at 80 million households. This integration, expected to be available to Amazon DSP advertisers by Q4 2025, will enable unified audience targeting across Roku and Fire TV platforms. The partnership leverages a custom identity resolution service, allowing Amazon DSP to recognize logged-in viewers deterministically across Roku OS devices. This aims to improve campaign management, frequency capping, and attribution of ad exposure to consumer purchases.
On June 12, Roku shares fell 3.57% to $77.604 in midday trading, down from a previous close of $80.48. The stock is currently 26.06% below its 52-week high of $104.96 and 60.57% above its 52-week low of $48.33. Trading volume was 1,113,805 shares, 26.9% of the average daily volume. Analysts' average one-year price target for Roku is $86.17, with a high estimate of $130.00 and a low of $60.00, implying an 11.04% upside from the current price. The consensus recommendation from 34 brokerage firms is an "Outperform" rating, with an average score of 2.3 on a scale of 1 (Strong Buy) to 5 (Sell).
Roku's strategic moves, including the Amazon partnership and new home screen features, are expected to bolster its position in the streaming market.
