Should You Invest in Roblox?

OVERVIEW

Why You Should?

  1. Roblox has some extremely good brand recognition (especially with younger kids and teenagers). In fact, a recent survey showed that around half of kids under 16 played a Roblox game. This strong brand recognition will benefit the company and its investors in the future.
  2. Cathie Wood, the fund manager of Ark Innovation ETF, recently took a stake in Roblox after the company went public on the U.S. stock market. She is one of the best-known names to newer retail investors in the market. Because of her stake, I would not be surprised if other followers will purchase some Roblox stock. This will cause the stock price to rise and will benefit the company and its investors.
  3. The COVID-19 pandemic has further increased the popularity and growth of Roblox games. As people stayed at home, they were able to download and use Roblox games in order to keep themselves entertained during these times. This has benefited the company and its investors.

Why You Should Not?

  1. Roblox recently went public and like other IPOs, the stock price shot up during the first couple of days of trading. I would wait for the stock price to fall and correct before investing in this company. Other issues like share lockup periods and investor’s taking profits might hurt the company’s stock price in the future.
