“Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) is an online game platform, primarily for kids and teens, with a large global base of daily users. Shares retreated as investors became concerned that the growth rate will likely slow after a remarkably strong 2025. We believe management has done a good job of diversifying away from a couple of “hits” to a whole range of “experiences” that should not only further expand the user base but also reduce the hit-driven nature of online games. We like the combination of a strong platform, robust margins and free cash flow generation.”
