Bull case
The bull case prices ROKU at 38x on FY1 earnings, assuming continued execution and no meaningful deceleration in the core business.
Wall Street verdict, consensus price target, and analyst rating breakdown — everything needed to frame the risk/reward at today's price.
Three scenarios for where ROKU stock could go
The bull case prices ROKU at 38x on FY1 earnings, assuming continued execution and no meaningful deceleration in the core business.
At 29x on FY1 earnings, the base case reflects a reasonable but not stretched valuation. It prices in continued growth without assuming an exceptional setup.
If investor confidence fades or macro conditions deteriorate, a 38x multiple contraction could push ROKU down roughly 67% from where it trades now.

Roku operates a leading TV streaming platform that connects viewers with content through its operating system and streaming devices. It makes money primarily through digital advertising on its platform (roughly 85% of revenue) and selling streaming hardware players and licensed TVs (about 15%). Its key advantage is its massive installed base of active accounts and its neutral platform position—unlike competitors tied to specific content ecosystems—which creates a powerful advertising network and distribution channel.
