Summary
Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest is still riding the Roku wave—buying and selling the stock 14 times since 2019, holding over 3.5 million shares worth nearly $500 million. Despite a steep drop from its peak, Roku’s CFO Dan Jedda reveals a major pivot: the company now opens its platform to third-party ad systems, including a powerhouse Amazon partnership that’s boosting ad margins to over 60%. Meanwhile, Roku’s subscription business is growing faster than expected, offering a steady “annuity-like” revenue stream with premium services already expanding into Mexico. With minimal capital spending and tax advantages, Roku is on track to hit $1 billion in free cash flow by 2028—possibly sooner.
