SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roblox to Report Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results on August 9, 2023.

Roblox to Report Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results on August 9, 2023

Roblox is introducing experiences designed for users aged 17 and above, aiming to attract a more mature demographic; previously, it only supported experiences for users aged nine and up. The company is also developing AI tools to enhance content creation, which is expected to broaden the creator funnel and strengthen Roblox's community of user-generated content creators. Reflecting on these developments, I fine tune my 2030 assumptions; and I now calculate a fair implied target price for RBLX equal to $78.11.
