    The company has reported net losses every quarter since becoming a public company, with last twelve months (LTM) losses totaling $1.07 billion.

    it’s crazy that that’s feasible and not already an issue. And for such a super popular platform. If it’s not profitable now, when will it be?

    When did it go public?

    Roblox went public on the NYSE via a direct listing on March 10th, 2021, and has a current market capitalization of ~$27 billion.


    Interviews reveal Roblox effectively has two sets of books for counting users: one for internal business decisions, in which multiple accounts are ‘de-alted’, and one used by the finance team that reports higher metrics to investors.


    To better understand the company’s reported engagement, we hired a technical consultant that monitored the top ~7,200 Roblox games across ~2.1 million Roblox servers, collecting 297.7 million rows of real-time player data.

    They did extensive, founded analysis.
