Bookings surged 51% to $1.44 billion, with daily active users rising 41% to 111.8 million. Despite losses projected between $1.20 billion and $1.26 billion for 2025, new bookings guidance is significantly higher. The stock jumped 20% in premarket trading, reaching all-time highs, driven by strong user engagement and strategic investments. Investors remain optimistic about future growth despite ongoing losses. Here's our initial take on **Roblox**'s (RBLX 5.92%) fiscal 2025 second-quarter financial report. ## Key Metrics Metric Q2 2024 Q2 2025 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $893.5 million $1.08 billion +21% Missed Adjusted earnings per share ($0.32) ($0.41) N/A Missed Bookings $955.2 million $1.44 billion +51% n/a Daily active users (DAUs) 79.5 million 111.8 million +41% n/a ## Viral Experiences Lift Roblox At first glance, some might have been disappointed with Roblox's second-quarter financial results. Revenue growth of 21% year over year was below what many had hoped to see, and a slightly wider loss than expected could also have proven to be a downer for investor sentiment. However, Roblox shareholders instead largely concentrated on measures of user engagement. Bookings soared by more than half year over year, as the number of monthly unique payers climbed 42%. Bookings per daily active user were up 7%, adding to the positive impact of a 41% jump in average daily active users. Hours of engagement skyrocketed 58% to 27.4 billion, further showing the popularity of Roblox's platform. Founder/CEO David Baszucki pointed to the strategic investments that Roblox has made to make its platform work more effectively. The rise of Roblox's virtual economy has taken hold, and creators on the platform are thriving. One teen has gained notoriety by creating a game called "Grow a Garden" that allows users to grow a virtual garden, and that game has broken records for having the most players engaged at the same time. After having had to wait a long time for the full promise of the metaverse to take hold, Roblox investors are now seeing the rise in engagement that they've hoped would come. ## Immediate Market Reaction Shareholders were ecstatic about the game platform's performance, and Roblox shares jumped 20% in premarket trading in the first half-hour after the release of its quarterly report. The move came in part as Roblox management boosted its expectations for the remainder of 2025. The stock now trades at all-time highs, finally surpassing its previous late-2021 peak. Having almost tripled just since April, Roblox shares are seeing huge momentum, and it's entirely possible that the stock could continue to climb. ## What to Watch To be clear, investors shouldn't expect Roblox's success to translate to profitability anytime soon. The company's new 2025 guidance calls for losses of between $1.20 billion and $1.26 billion for the year. However, new bookings projections of between $5.87 billion and $5.97 billion are quite a bit higher than previous guidance for between $5.285 billion and $5.36 billion. And with free cash flow now likely to top the $1 billion mark, Roblox should have plenty of capital to keep following its strategic vision to foster further growth. ## Helpful Resources - Full earnings report - Investor relations page ### Related Stocks - [RBLX.US - Roblox](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RBLX.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Roblox Under Investigation by Netherlands Regulator Over Risks That Minors Face on the Platform | Roblox is under investigation by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets regarding potential risks to minors | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/274335623.md) | | Roblox Stock (RBLX) Surges 10% — Why Analysts See More Upside | Roblox (RBLX) shares surged 10.5% to around $84.80, driven by the popularity of its new game, Escape Tsunami For Brainro | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/272526588.md) | | OXY-Clean: Buffett's Favourite Oil Rig Scrubs $6 Billion In Debt Off The Books | Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY) has significantly reduced its debt by $5.8 billion after selling its OxyChem divisi | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276372720.md) | | BUZZ-Street View: Booking Holdings may be shielded from AI disruption noise | Booking Holdingssurpassed Q4 profit expectations, driven by strong international travel demand.
