On June 29, Roblox rose 5.24% in pre-market trading, trading at $50.02 per share with turnover of approximately $842,200. The move was driven by investment bank Arete upgrading Roblox from Neutral to Buy while raising its price target from $75 to $95, implying nearly 90% upside from recent levels.
According to FactSet data, Roblox currently carries an average analyst rating of overweight with a consensus price target of $66.48. The upgrade follows a period of significant analyst activity around the stock, which saw multiple target cuts in early May after the company lowered its full-year guidance due to headwinds from mandatory facial age verification impacting new-user acquisition.
Supporting the bullish sentiment, Roblox in May announced its first-ever share repurchase program of up to $3 billion, with plans to buy back up to $1 billion of stock over the next 12 months. The buyback was widely viewed as a signal of improving cash flow dynamics and management confidence in the company's long-term trajectory.
