Our 10 Better Stocks than Roku›
While the market has been bounced over the past few months and is close to previous all-time highs, not all companies are waving the wave. As of June 6, this growth stock was trading below 84% of its peak, a record record set in July 2021. At this point, it may be difficult to ignore the dip sauce.
Should you buy stocks in June and hold them for the next 20 years? Here are some important variables to consider.

The Internet has helped reshape industries, corporate strategies and consumer behavior. This is evident in the rise of streaming entertainment. It also reveals itself when you look at the digital advertising market.
Businesses that benefit from both Secular trends yes Roku(Nasdaq: Roku). It provides users with a platform that allows them to aggregate everything. It’s very valuable to put them all in one place when it seems there is an unlimited number of streaming applications. Therefore, Roku has the highest market share between smart TV operating systems in the United States, Mexico and Canada. 40% of new TVs sold in the U.S. in the first quarter were equipped with Roku software.
You can’t determine the stock’s weak performance, but the company continues to publish double-digit growth. Revenue in the first quarter increased by 16% (as of March 31). This is after 18% of the highest line growth in 2024. At the end of last year, Roku had 89.8 million memberships, although it had stopped reporting this key metric.
It is worth mentioning that 86% of the company’s sales in the first quarter of 2025 came from its platform segment, which is partly profitable from advertising. “Due to more than half of our broadband homes and expanding advertising product offerings, we provide marketers with the impact and visual impact of traditional TV and the performance of digital advertising,” the latest shareholder letter reads.
In 2021, Roku generated $242 million in net income. It was a great year, but it was an exception. Roku has been reporting net losses, cumulatively $866 million over the past nine quarters. However, this may change due to the fee control.
Leadership team hopes to release positive Operating income In 2026. As an Internet-expanding enterprise, Roku should be able to grow the bottom line as the bottom line expands and increases revenue. Investors should pay close attention.
Roku held its initial public offering in 2017. So, of course I can understand the key point. If the business hasn’t always been profitable, it may not happen anytime soon. In other words, we can study the true nature of a company’s financial situation.
Helps the company have a clean balance sheet. As of March 31, Roku had $2.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents. On the other hand, it has zero debt. This reduces its chances of financial difficulties.
The valuation is convincing as the stock is crushed. Shared transactions Price to sales ratio 2.7. This is 69% below the stock’s historical average. The current setup proves how much sore investors cause in their business.
There is no doubt that this valuation is attractive. And I think that makes up for what I think is important risks.
Investors cannot ignore the competitive landscape. Large tech giants letter,,,,, Amazonand apple All offer their own streaming apps and media hardware devices, making them all fight Roku. This just means that Roku will have to focus on doing the best strategic things for his audience and advertising partners. But, so far, it has its own in the industry.
It’s hard to say in advance that you should own stocks for 20 years. That is a very distant future. However, Roku has the necessary elements to be the big winner. It has cheap valuations, leading industry status and meaningful growth potential. I believe there are long time investors who should carefully study buying stocks.
