The brief

Roku sells streaming devices ('Roku sticks' that plug into TVs) and partners with TV manufacturers to build Roku software directly into smart TVs. The real business is the platform itself: Roku takes a cut when users rent movies, subscribe to services like Netflix through the Roku interface, or watch free ad-supported content. Advertisers pay Roku to show commercials to its 80+ million active users across the US and international markets.

Roku operates a TV streaming platform connecting viewers, content creators, and advertisers through connected devices and Roku-branded TVs [Yahoo Finance]. The company generated $4.7B in revenue with 15% year-over-year growth, but carries a sky-high P/E ratio of 91x while delivering only 2% net profit margins [Yahoo Finance]. Multiple insiders including CEO Anthony Wood and President Charles Collier sold significant stock totals exceeding $60M in the past 90 days [SEC Form 4].

Roku is growing revenue steadily but barely breaking even on profitability despite strong free cash flow generation.
