Read MoreHide Full Article

Roblox (RBLX - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 8.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $619.8 million. The consensus mark for loss has remained unchanged at 16 cents per share in the past 30 days.

Roblox’s third-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from growth in the company’s community of users and developers. This is expected to have driven sales of Robux, the currency used in Roblox, thereby aiding top-line growth.

The company’s growing popularity among children of 13 years and above has been noteworthy. The company witnessed 46% year over year growth for daily active users (“DAU”) for 13-year olds and above in second quarter.
