Roku (ROKU) shares are down 85%. And while some investors celebrate the bursting of what they believe was an obvious pandemic bubble stock, things could still get worse. For example, the Fed’s hawkishness is driving us into recession, Roku’s earnings are again negative and the shares remain highly shorted right along with many other now infamous “high-growth” stocks. In this report, we review Roku’s business, its growth opportunities, its valuation, the multitude of headwinds that many investors are now increasingly aware of (such as supply chain issues, competitive threats, slowing growth), and then conclude with our opinion on investing.
New Options Trade: High Upfront Income, Bullish Vertical Put Spread
Shares of this streaming TV platform have fallen 50% since July, and the stock now trades at a compelling price relative to its long-term value. However, for those of you that like high upfront income (and are real sticklers on price), the trade described in this report is worth considering. The trade strategy sounds complex (i.e. “bullish vertical put spread”), but it’s not. It puts attractive upfront premium in your pocket today, it gives you a chance to pick up shares of this attractive stock at a lower price, and it gives you a little insurance on the downside (i.e. your max loss is limited). We believe this is an attractive trade to place over the next few trading sessions, as long as the share price doesn’t move too dramatically first.
A Top Growth Stock: Well Positioned to Leverage Global Streaming Tailwind
There are a lot of things to like about the largest TV-based on-demand streaming platform in the US, starting with its dramatic business growth thanks to the global shift from linear TV to over-the-top (“OTT”) streaming services. The company is consistently delivering powerful top and bottom-line growth, driven by an increasing number of users and higher advertising revenues. It’s also taking initiative to expand into international geographies (to fuel more growth), and it enjoys a very large and expanding total addressable market opportunity. In this report, we review the business, growth, its unique selling opportunity, the financials, valuation and risks. We conclude with our opinion on investing.
New Options Trade: Very High Income and Growth, Following Sell Off
Concentrating all of your nest egg in a narrow range of investment types can result in unnecessary risks. As such, we like to share income generating opportunities from a range of strategies. The option trade we share today generates a huge amount of upfront income and is based on an “Income via Growth” stock. The shares are very attractive over the long-term, but they just sold off thereby making this trade timely and compelling.
