Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

EPS of -48c was worse than -45c expected; sales were $899M, 2.7% better than expected. 
EBITDA of $183M was 88% better than expected. 
Roblox's inflection in bookings growth, driven by an expanding user base and increased engagement, bodes well for its sales, with the company lapping tough Covid-19 year over year comparisons. 
User gains continue to be aided by content advantage, which seems to be driven by enlargement beyond its core 9-13 year old user group as well as geographic expansion outside the US. 
The company may see positive revisions for its Ebitda and free cash flow amid an acceleration in the top line through 2023, though higher developer fees aimed at boosting content could be an offsetting factor. 
Bookings growth advanced to 22-24%, while hours engaged and daily active users both rose 19% in January, helping drive the number of unique payers on its platform. 
These were surprisingly decent results, with investors focused more on EBITDA and bookings than the earnings miss. 
The 8% short interest is likely covering some today, and we are seeing a fairly big shift in sentiment towards last year's losers right now.

BUY
Roblox Corporation

Likes it. Earnings are coming and the street wants to know their daily active users number. In December, they had 65 million, up 18%, but the average booking for daily users is $7. These shares range between $30-40, so she sells calls close to $40, then closes it out closer to $30. They have cash flow and revenues, but remain in the growth stage.

Not a buyer of company. Issue for company is whether bigger companies are tough competition.

He's been taking shares off the table and holds very little. BOA downgraded it today. He doesn't care if this goes to zero, because he owns so little.

COMMENT
Roblox Corporation
Once a high-flying growth stock, but hammered by the current market. Last night they reported a disappointing quarter with misses, but investors later saw much better than expected free cash flow and management called March a bottom and are forecasting things to improve going further. Shares rose today. Could this be a bottom?

DON'T BUY
Roblox Corporation
It's too low to sell. The market changed, wanting companies that make tangible things which Roblox does not do.

TOP PICK
Roblox Corporation
Had worst day ever yesterday as kids are returning to the real world. Still one of the strongest players in the metaverse at this time. Bryn Talkington and Kim Bolton recently gave BUY signals. Social media mentions are up 345% over the last seven days.

BUY
Roblox Corporation
MS made a buy call today and shares are popping. When Facebook renamed itself to Meta, Roblox enjoyed the halo effect. Unlike FB, Roblox has real metaverse products. Revenues from Q3-2020 to Q3-2021 were up 100% with $500 million in revenues and $170 million in free cash flow. It's a sticky platform that pays outside developers to create content for users. The NFL, Sony and Warner Brothers just entered partnerships with them. She's looking out for this quarter is the effect of the new Squid Game content that got added to Roblox that drove new users. She has sold calls on this name, though, because it's a volatile name, but she also owns it long.

RISKY
Roblox Corporation
Caller is down 34%. He's looking at it carefully. Seems to have caught a bit of a bid recently. Pure play on the metaverse, lets people develop their own games. Easy to use, for the beginner-intermediate. He also likes Unity Software, for the intermediate-advanced. Problem is both are not profitable, and with rising interest rates, slashing PEs, you have to be very nimble. He's reluctant to give 12-month price targets, as these are trades, not investments. Should go north of $100, but not much over $110.

COMMENT
Roblox Corporation
The market doesn't like these long-term value stocks now that interest rates are about to rise, but it's a great company.

TOP PICK
Roblox Corporation

A speculative buy for the new year. While Mark Zuckerberg is envisioning the metaverse for Facebook, Roblox is already there. Roblox furnishes a platform for developers to create, build and publish 3D content. It's The Matrix come alive, and the digital frontier. Just this past New Year's, Paris Hilton invited everyone to celebrate on her virtual online island, Paris World, where visitors could explore her digital Beverly Hills estate including her dog mansion (you read that right) and visit the site of her neon carnival wedding on Santa Monica Pier by gliding around on a virtual yacht or luxury car. Not only Ms. Hilton, by Tommy Hilfiger, Nike (through Nikeland) and rapper Lil Nas X have ventured into the metaverse through Roblox.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Roblox Corporation
It's down 28% from its 52-week high. Could be a big winner in 2022. He just bought this, but only a third of his normal position. Volatility will let him buy more. He paid around $101. He thinks it's the next big global platform It boasts about 50 millions daily users (9 million are creating games on the platform) and 200 million monthly active users. He's been watching this since its IPO. Half of all U.S. kids under 16 are playing on Roblox--this is the metaverse already. It has it own virtual currency already. It converts 40 cents on every $1 into free cash flow. Its valuation remains reasonable. He's super bullish on user growth and engagement. He will add on any pullbacks.

Roblox Corporation
Really interesting company. Follows it. Pure play in the metaverse. Lets developers come in and build virtual reality platforms. Also helps monetize apps. Monetization will happen sooner elsewhere. His choice in the metaverse space is MSFT.
Technology
BUY
Roblox Corporation
It's trading just above $106 (calls were bought just below that). Buying Dec. 31 expiring calls: are 6,500 of the $115 calls. This week's it gotta perform strongly and make a big move to the upside. Calls started at 50 cents and rose to 85.

The top 5 junior, next-generation growth/tech stocks: #1 Roblox: Makes it easy for users to make and share content. They're the inventor of the metaverse, really, formerly seen as a Covid play, like Docusign. But it has transcended that label. Great CEO. Buy on any weakness.
