The estimated figure is narrower than loss of 13 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.\nThe company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 42.7%.\nLet’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.\nRoku, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise\nRoku, Inc. price-eps-surprise|Roku, Inc. Quote\nFactors to Consider\nInvestor focus will be on active accounts growth, which is an important metric for Roku. The popularity of its free, ad-supported platform, The Roku Channel is expected to have aided active accounts growth in the fourth quarter of 2020. The ability to access free and premium content on the same platform has been a huge attraction for subscribers.\nIn the third quarter, the company reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Comcast -owned NBCUniversal to distribute the latter’s Peacock streaming services that include collaboration around marketing, advertising, and content for The Roku Channel.\nBuilding on that partnership, Roku launched NBC News in The Roku Channel in time for the final presidential debate, expanding the overall reach and monetization of NBC News alongside its standalone NBC News app on the Roku platform.\nMoreover, Roku announced that RTE Player, the on-demand service provided by Irish broadcaster RTE, is officially available on Roku streaming devices in Ireland.\nThe company’s active accounts jumped 43% year over year to 46 million in third-quarter 2020. Moreover, ARPU increased 20% to $27 (on a trailing 12-month basis).\nNotably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter active accounts and ARPU is pegged at $50 million and $27.44, respectively, indicating an increase of 35.5% and 18.6% from the year-ago reported figures.\nThe expected solid surge in active accounts and viewing may have been the result of growth in subscription signups, movie rentals and purchases as well as elevated revenues from increased device sales.\nAdditionally, streaming hours growth is expected to have boosted TV streaming advertising on Roku’s platform. The consensus mark for streaming hours stands at 16.9 billion, implying an increase of 44.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.\nIn the fourth quarter, Roku announced a slate of releases on The Roku Channel in the United Kingdom including films such asThe Devils Double, Muriel’s Wedding, Harry Price: Ghost Hunterand family friendly Christmas picks like Diana Show, Ryan’s Worldand crime-dramaLittle Miracles, which are expected to have boosted streaming hours in the to-be reported quarter.\nThe addition of Peloton app, Peloton Interactive’s virtual fitness platform for Roku streamers is also expected to have aided growth in streaming hours.\nFurther, the launch of streaming services — Apple TV+ and Disney+ — on Roku’s platform is expected to have aided Platform revenues, which accounted for 70.7% of revenues in the third quarter.\nThe consensus mark for Platform revenues is pegged at $402 million, indicating growth of 54.6% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.\nImproving Advertising Business to Aid Top-Line\nMoreover, the growing popularity of The Roku Channel is expected to have attracted advertisers in the to-be-reported quarter. Also, the acquisition of Dataxu (a demand-side advertising platform) is expected to have strengthened the company’s OTT advertising roadmap.\nMeanwhile, the advertising business is expected to have witnessed delayed starts in video ad campaign, primarily from categories including travel, quick-serve restaurants, theatrical and automotive among others that were severely hit by stay-at-home policies.\nNonetheless, Roku is expected to have benefited from advertising spend reallocation toward TV streaming as marketers accelerate their shift out of traditional TV and into TV streaming.\nAdditionally, product innovations in solutions like the Shopper Data Program with Kroger are expected to have driven monetized video ad impressions growth in the fourth quarter.\nMoreover, increasing advertiser demand for new products offered by the company such as incremental reach guarantees and Roku’s OneView ad platform are expected to be key catalysts. The ad platform is designed to help advertisers use TV identity data to create ads across OTT, desktop and mobile from a single hub.\nHowever, the bottom line is expected to have been weighed down by cost escalations, resulting from increased marketing expenses related to international expansion and content additions in the to-be-reported quarter.\nWhat Our Model Says\nAccording to the Zacks model, the combination of a positiveEarnings ESPand Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.\nRoku has an Earnings ESP of -64.1% and a Zacks Rank #2.

The estimated figure is narrower than loss of 13 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.\nThe company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 42.7%.\nLet’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.\nRoku, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise\nRoku, Inc. price-eps-surprise|Roku, Inc. Quote\nFactors to Consider\nInvestor focus will be on active accounts growth, which is an important metric for Roku. The popularity of its free, ad-supported platform, The Roku Channel is expected to have aided active accounts growth in the fourth quarter of 2020. The ability to access free and premium content on the same platform has been a huge attraction for subscribers.\nIn the third quarter, the company reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Comcast -owned NBCUniversal to distribute the latter’s Peacock streaming services that include collaboration around marketing, advertising, and content for The Roku Channel.\nBuilding on that partnership, Roku launched NBC News in The Roku Channel in time for the final presidential debate, expanding the overall reach and monetization of NBC News alongside its standalone NBC News app on the Roku platform.\nMoreover, Roku announced that RTE Player, the on-demand service provided by Irish broadcaster RTE, is officially available on Roku streaming devices in Ireland.\nThe company’s active accounts jumped 43% year over year to 46 million in third-quarter 2020. Moreover, ARPU increased 20% to $27 (on a trailing 12-month basis).\nNotably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter active accounts and ARPU is pegged at $50 million and $27.44, respectively, indicating an increase of 35.5% and 18.6% from the year-ago reported figures.\nThe expected solid surge in active accounts and viewing may have been the result of growth in subscription signups, movie rentals and purchases as well as elevated revenues from increased device sales.\nAdditionally, streaming hours growth is expected to have boosted TV streaming advertising on Roku’s platform. The consensus mark for streaming hours stands at 16.9 billion, implying an increase of 44.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.\nIn the fourth quarter, Roku announced a slate of releases on The Roku Channel in the United Kingdom including films such asThe Devils Double, Muriel’s Wedding, Harry Price: Ghost Hunterand family friendly Christmas picks like Diana Show, Ryan’s Worldand crime-dramaLittle Miracles, which are expected to have boosted streaming hours in the to-be reported quarter.\nThe addition of Peloton app, Peloton Interactive’s virtual fitness platform for Roku streamers is also expected to have aided growth in streaming hours.\nFurther, the launch of streaming services — Apple TV+ and Disney+ — on Roku’s platform is expected to have aided Platform revenues, which accounted for 70.7% of revenues in the third quarter.\nThe consensus mark for Platform revenues is pegged at $402 million, indicating growth of 54.6% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.\nImproving Advertising Business to Aid Top-Line\nMoreover, the growing popularity of The Roku Channel is expected to have attracted advertisers in the to-be-reported quarter. Also, the acquisition of Dataxu (a demand-side advertising platform) is expected to have strengthened the company’s OTT advertising roadmap.\nMeanwhile, the advertising business is expected to have witnessed delayed starts in video ad campaign, primarily from categories including travel, quick-serve restaurants, theatrical and automotive among others that were severely hit by stay-at-home policies.\nNonetheless, Roku is expected to have benefited from advertising spend reallocation toward TV streaming as marketers accelerate their shift out of traditional TV and into TV streaming.\nAdditionally, product innovations in solutions like the Shopper Data Program with Kroger are expected to have driven monetized video ad impressions growth in the fourth quarter.\nMoreover, increasing advertiser demand for new products offered by the company such as incremental reach guarantees and Roku’s OneView ad platform are expected to be key catalysts. The ad platform is designed to help advertisers use TV identity data to create ads across OTT, desktop and mobile from a single hub.\nHowever, the bottom line is expected to have been weighed down by cost escalations, resulting from increased marketing expenses related to international expansion and content additions in the to-be-reported quarter.\nWhat Our Model Says\nAccording to the Zacks model, the combination of a positiveEarnings ESPand Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.\nRoku has an Earnings ESP of -64.1% and a Zacks Rank #2.
