Roblox shares plunged more than 16% after the gaming platform fell short of Wall Street’s bookings and daily active user estimates.
Roblox reported bookings of $1.36 billion for the fourth quarter, versus the $1.37 billion expected by analysts polled by LSEG. Daily active users came in at 85.3 million, reflecting 19% growth from a year ago. However, the figure came up short of a StreetAccount estimate of 88.2 million.
The company said it anticipates bookings to range between $5.20 billion and $5.30 billion for 2025, compared to a $5.30 billion FactSet estimate.
In an earnings release, CEO and founder David Baszuck said the company would continue to invest in its virtual economy, app performance and “AI-powered discovery and safety, empowering creators and enhancing the user experience,” in the new year.
