Latest Developments:
In Q3 2024, Roblox (RBLX) reported $919 million in revenue, marking a 28.89% year-on-year increase. Despite strong user engagement and higher bookings, the company remains unprofitable with a net income margin of -26%. For FY2024, RBLX expects revenue of $3.56 billion, continuing its path of user expansion and free cash flow generation, though profitability remains elusive.

Investment Case:
While Roblox has shown impressive user growth, including plans to reach 1 billion daily active users, its high costs, particularly platform and developer fees, continue to hinder profitability. With significant cost pressures and a diluted share structure, the company's path to positive operating income remains unclear. Despite growth prospects, our valuation analysis suggests a 40% downside from the current price, making it prudent to consider taking profits or avoiding new investments.

Valuation:
Based on a comparable company analysis, RBLX appears overvalued, with a potential downside to $20.5 billion, or a 40% decline. At the current valuation of $33.71 billion, the stock does not offer a margin of safety for investors.
