Bank of America sees a bullish scenario for Roblox and is sticking to its positive assessment despite skepticism from many investors.
• Bank of America reiterates its price target
• Roblox beats forecasts in 2025 while the stock is well below its 52-week high
• Company has launched new developer programs with “Incubator” and “Jumpstart” to promote the next generation of games
Roblox is an interactive gaming and creative platform where users can create, discover and share millions of interactive experiences. According to the company, the goal is to create new ways of coming together and, together with the community, to promote social connections and economic opportunities worldwide.
Bank of America sees bullish scenario for Roblox
As “The Fly” reports, citing an analysis by Bank of America analyst Omar Dessouky, many investors are critical of Roblox’s growth ambitions for 2026, while the bank clearly contradicts this assessment. It is said that the expert expects a positive scenario based on the evaluation of 7,500 gaming experiences: The drivers are primarily solid organic growth, sustainable user loyalty as a result of the popular games of 2025 and a more consistent sequence of successful gaming experiences. Accordingly, the bank reiterates its buy recommendation and confirms the price target of $165.
Bear scenario largely priced in
As Investing reports, citing the analysis, Roblox is currently valued at 18 times relative to its expected operating profit for the next twelve months – a historically low valuation level. According to the bank’s assessment, a bear scenario is actually already included in the price.
However, according to Roblox, the company was able to significantly exceed its forecasts in 2025 and increase sales by 36 percent.
The share is currently trading at $57.66 (closing price: April 13, 2026), around 58 percent below its 52-week high of $150.59. The price has therefore clearly moved away from its peak.
Roblox launches new funding programs for developers
Roblox has introduced two new developer support programs, “Incubator” and “Jumpstart,” the company announced on March 9, 2026. The aim is to accelerate the development of the next generation of games on the platform.
According to the company, the “Incubator” is aimed at experienced teams and is intended to develop promising game ideas into commercially successful games. “Jumpstart,” on the other hand, is intended to make it easier for new developers to get started and support them in publishing their own projects. The company also points to a growing user base, driven primarily by developers creating new genres and breaking records. With the programs, Roblox wants to further accelerate this dynamic.
The company also announced that it would continue to specifically identify promising projects in early development phases and further develop them together with the developers in order to bring new ideas onto the platform more quickly.
