Today's video focuses on Roblox (RBLX -1.82%) and the recent key metrics the company shared with its investors. Also, I give an update on companies creating experiences on Roblox's platform. Here are some highlights from the video.
- On Dec. 15, Roblox reported its November key metrics. The company reported 35% year over year (YOY) growth in average daily active users (DAUs), up to 49.4 million. Average DAUs are roughly 2 million higher than the company reported in its recent third-quarter earnings but slightly down from the 50.5 million it reported for its October key metrics.
- On the downside, the company sees less spending per DAU. The estimated average bookings per DAU were down roughly 8% to 9% YOY. The negative trend in bookings may change as the holiday season approaches and more players are gifted Roblox gift cards.
- On Dec. 8, Roblox announced that Ralph Lauren had created a digital experience on its platform. Players will be able to purchase and use digital apparel based on Ralph Lauren's clothing lines.
