Roblox: Don't Chase

By -

 

  • Roblox reported more weak Q1'22 numbers and provided weak estimates for April.
  • The company continues to grow overall users and hours engaged, but the business faces tough comps in the key U.S. market.
  • The stock bounced on weak numbers in a bullish sign, but Roblox has bounced too far to chase here.

After warning people a few months ago that the struggles at Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) would persist, the stock likely reached a capitulation point last week. The online gaming and metaverse company continues to face tough comps from the huge covid pull forwards last year. My investment thesis is more bullish on the stock, though the large snap back rally last week should be faded.

Update - June 10 
These are the types of analyst calls that create a bottom. Roblox appears set for a retest of the May bottom. 

-Goldman Sachs cut its rating on Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) to Sell from Neutral Friday on a host of near-term concerns.

-Analyst Eric Sheridan also lowered his price target to $28 from $39 per share. That's a little more than 8% below current levels.

Update - June 3

Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty highlighting very weak App Store revenues Apple (AAPL) is a bad signal for engagement on Roblox. She suggests Sensor Tower has revenue only growing 4% in May. 

The Atlantic Equities cut to Neutral from a few days ago appears wise. Roblox will report another weak quarter in Q2. How the stock performs from here is key. So far Roblox hasn't hit new lows in a positive sign.

-Atlantic has cut its price target to $30 from $60

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting.

"While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
