On June 29, Roblox rose 7.02% in regular trading, trading at $52.19/share, with turnover of $35.37 million. The rally was driven by a combination of an investment bank upgrade and ongoing buyback tailwinds.
Arete upgraded Roblox from Neutral to Buy and raised its price target from $75 to $95, implying approximately 90% upside from the current stock price. According to FactSet data, Roblox currently holds an average analyst rating of Overweight with a consensus target price of $66.48. The upgrade directly lifted market sentiment and triggered strong buying interest.
Additionally, the company previously announced its first-ever share repurchase program of up to $3 billion, with plans to execute up to $1 billion within the next 12 months. The buyback initiative has been widely interpreted as a signal of improving cash flow and strengthening fundamentals. Analysts note that Arete's bullish call represents a contrarian move following earlier target price cuts tied to headwinds from the company's age verification rollout, suggesting market expectations for a fundamental recovery are gradually rebuilding.
