Hey all! I wanted to start doing a series on here where I post a handful of my trades. Mainly so I can look back on them later, but I figured if anyone wants to follow along they are more then welcome. 

On Monday I did 2 things that I want to mention here. First I sold my previously opened ford puts for .24 (bought at .20). While ford may be overbought in my eyes, I wasn’t a fan of my put expiring in a week and ford having a stagnant/up day on Monday. I made the decision to just sell for the 20% gain. Still trying to decide what to do with my 14.50 ford covered calls (expiring 7/28) 

I also got into a new position in $KTB they had recently dropped over 10% and I feel like at the price i bought it at, with the dividend and growth potential made it a short-midterm hold for me. Currently up about 2% as of the time of this post, but I feel like it can go a little farther. 

Tuesday was a big day for me. Firstly Microsoft won the case against the FTC causing Activision Blizzard stock to skyrocket. I sold at 91.63 for a 7+% overall gain on the shares I still had remaining. 

Roku also skyrocketed today. I’m not really sure why it did this as I didn’t see any major news, but i ended up selling midway through the day for a nice profit overall. 

For the rest of this week I’m gonna put the profits I got from the past 2 days to good use, just not sure what in yet. I also need to make a plan for my $F covered calls. That’s all for this post. See ya soon ❤️

**Strategy**

$ROKU mission is to be the global TV streaming platform that connects and benefits the entire TV ecosystem of consumers, content publishers, and advertisers. Through their TV streaming platform, they connect consumers to the entertainment they love, enable content publishers to build, engage, and monetize large audiences, and provide advertisers with unique capabilities to reach consumers.

**Roku Business Model**

**Hardware sales**
Roku sells and markets players, smart TVs, and audio solutions. The company is well-known for its Roku streaming devices. Usually, these devices are available in retail stores and electronic shops. The company sells these products at different products and specifications. Usually, these devices are cheap and come at costs lower than $100.

**Advertising**
Roku also makes money through
advertising. The company also has its independent channel. Through this
channel, the company shows advertising between content and when paused. The
company deals with various licensing partners who can display their ads through
this feature. The company does not have to share its advertising revenue due to
its IP.

**Licensing**
Roku sells smart TVs, which come bundled with its operating system. However, it also licenses its OS to other smart TV manufacturers. This sale occurs through a license. The company makes
money from each partner using its operating system. Currently, Roku provides these services to over 15 brands. The company also makes money for each unit sold with its operating system.

**Subscriptions**
Roku also has a subscription-on-demand (SVOD) platform. Through this platform, users can purchase subscriptions to other streaming services. In exchange, Roku withholds a percentage of the fees paid by users to the streaming service. However, users do not have to pay this
amount. Instead, the charge occurs to the partner. The company does not disclose how much it charges those partners.

**Branded content**
Roku also makes money through branded content. In 2021, the company launched its Roku Brand Studio. Through this studio, the company produces branded content for advertising partners. The
company receives money from the partners in exchange. Usually, this money comes on a fixed or contractual basis. Roku does not disclose how much money it makes through branded content.

**Market Cap and Revenues**

As we can see, Roku Inc. is almost at half of the Market cap levels of 2019, due to high inflation rates and the fear of an economic recession. Furthermore, looking at the diagram below, Roku revenues come to approximately, 56% from advertising, 23% from Content Distribution (in the form of Entertainment), 8% from Software Licensing (Roku OS), and 13% as a Retailer of streaming devices (Player/Special line).

**Survey the Landscape**

The first step in valuation is to investigate the following:
1. The market sector that Roku Inc operates in and how much growth this sector will have in the future.
2. Competition from the companies who operate in the sector.
3. How much is the market share of Roku in this market?
4. What products does Roku offer to its customers? and
5. How exactly the macro environment, which operates, will affect the operations?

$ROKU operates in TV streaming through Over-the-top (OTT) media. OTT media generally refers to media platforms that use the internet to provide users with content rather than traditional services like cable and satellite.  Their devices are essential within the OTT market as they assist in making these services accessible to people within their homes. Below you can see the growth of Over-the-top (OTT) TV and video revenue worldwide from 2022 to 2028.

Roku mainly creates revenues from advertising-based video-on-demand (AVOD), subscription video-on-demand (SVOD), and Pay-per-View (TVOD) services. Looking at the above diagram and the open source for TVOD, we can estimate the whole AVOD, SVOD, and TVOD market in 2028 which is 229.66 billion dollars. Furthermore, looking at open-source information, I found the market share of Smart TV streaming device market share worldwide (as of 2020), by platform:

As we can see from the above diagram, the competition is very high because Roku has to compete with Sony, Amazon Fire, Android TV, Google Cast, and Apple tvOS.
If we assume that Roku will maintain its advantage over the competitors and the market share remains stable, then we can estimate the market value (in revenues) for Roku which is **14.7 billion in 2028.**

**Roku Narrative**

$ROKU is a high-growth company that is seeking ways to become profitable. Looking at the last Annual 10K in the section “Strategy” we can find the following:  "Roku Inc.'s mission is to be the global TV streaming platform that connects and benefits the entire TV ecosystem of consumers, content publishers, and advertisers.”.
Thinking of the business model of the company and the above statement, I derive the following results:
1. Leading company in the US with a market share worldwide equal to 6.5% of the OTT media market.
2. Global TV streaming platform means that they will operate worldwide.
3. High revenues and profitability (from negative to positive margins) mean a **high reinvestment** **rate** .
4. **What** **I believe about $ROKU:** 50% as an Advertising company, 40% Content

    Distribution company (Entertainment), and 10% Retailing (Special line) company.

**Conclusion**


A good valuation stands between the numbers and narratives. I tried to make estimations in fundamental factors, looking at the history of the company and then I adjusted them to reflect the high competition and the macroeconomic effects. I believe that the main advantage of Roku is that leads the way in the US in the TV streaming sector, which is in high growth (advertising and subscription services (AVOD/SVOD). Due to the high growth of the sector, it is avoidable the high competition from Amazon, LG, Google, and Apple. As a result, the company should have a high reinvestment rate to keep its competitive advantage as a leading company in the US. Furthermore, looking at the narrative of the company and the worldwide market share, I believe that will become profitable in 2025 but only with high growth in revenues (30%). As a result, for my taste, Roku Inc. is undervalued by about 37% and I will pay the price of the market offers. I hope all of you have good investments and thank you for supporting my work.
