-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We raise our target by $30 to $150 using a higher equity risk premium commensurate with our growth outlook and a forward TEV/EBITDA of 30.0x our 2026 EBITDA estimate of $700M that we expect to grow to $860M in 2027, or 23% Y/Y growth. We do not look back to three-year and five-year TEV/EBITDA history as ROKU's business was less mature, unprofitable, and multiples were significantly higher than our benchmark. ROKU's shares have a high beta of 2.00 relative to the equity market, which makes its share price potentially twice as volatile as the market. We raise our 2026 EPS by $0.90 to $2.45 and 2027's by $0.55 to $3.35 on projected revenue of $5.7B and $6.5B. We like that ROKU has no debt outstanding and $2.38B of cash and cash equivalents. ROKU has over $1B of deferred tax asset benefits that will keep its cash taxes low for many years. ROKU sees free cash flow continuing to be strong. Management sees a path to over $1B in 2028 from $483.6B in 2025, which gives us confidence in ROKU's business model for growth.
