2. Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX)

On May 5, 2026, Roth Capital lowered the firm’s price target on Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) to $65 from $84 while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. The firm said the factors behind Roblox’s reduced 2026 guidance appear temporary and believes several ongoing initiatives could support a meaningful reacceleration in growth in 2027. Roth added that declines in daily active users tied to age-verification and safety-related friction were greater than expected but should ultimately be manageable, alongside recent issues with discovery recommendations.

B. Riley also lowered the firm’s price target on Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) to $80 from $100 while maintaining a Buy rating. The firm said Q1 results included weaker guidance and a notable bookings downgrade tied to lower DAUs following the rollout of age verification requirements, which contributed to sharp stock underperformance and increased near-term volatility. However, B. Riley said long-term engagement trends and platform fundamentals remain intact.

Similarly, Canaccord analyst Jason Tilchen lowered the firm’s price target on Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) to $80 from $140 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. The firm described Q1 results as mixed, with user growth coming in below consensus expectations while bookings were broadly in line and profitability exceeded guidance. Canaccord added that the company had anticipated some impact from age verification requirements, though the resulting pressure on engagement and new user acquisition was greater than expected.
