Roku is now the #1 streaming platform in the US. (per CC)
I believe Roku has three trends in their favor, 1) World wide move to streaming. 2) Revenue stream from advertising as more and more customers come on board, Roku should be able to take advantage of targeted ads. They talk about TTD in their CC and view them as a positive. Roku ad impression revenue doubled yoy in latest quarter. 3) Starting push to grow internationally.
I’m starting to get interested. Would love to know what you guys think.
Kindest Regards,
