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.
