The company's 2017 initial public offering (IPO) priced at just $14 per share. It's trading at $415 per share as of this writing, up over 27 times in value in less than four years. A mere $36,000 investment at the IPO price would be worth about $1 million now. If only you had a DeLorean equipped with a flux capacitor, right?\nWe can't go back in time to snag Roku stock on the cheap. But don't think that you've completely missed the boat with this millionaire-maker stock. It's not too late to buy Roku.\n\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nThis major shift is ongoing\nIn 2020, Roku signed up more new users than ever. In all, it gained 14.3 million new active accounts during the year, taking its total active accounts over 51 million. The reason for thisimpressive growthis simple: People are tired of TV options like cable and satellite and areswitching to streaming. Roku is a platform enabling the shift.\nThis shift isn't over by a long shot. According to a January report from market researcher Parks Associates, 43% of people still paying for traditional TV plan to switch to streaming in the coming year. Expect Roku to be a primary beneficiary of this massive pay-TV exodus. Its hardware devices are popular, and it currently estimates that its software runs 38% of smart TVs sold in the U.S., making it the market-share leader.\nIn short, Roku's 39% year-over-year growth in active accounts was impressive. But things are shaping up nicely in the coming year and beyond as well.\n\nSTREAMING TV ALLOWS FOR ADS TO BE MORE PRECISELY TARGETED TOWARD VIEWERS. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nAd revenue is still gaining traction\nRoku's revenue is divided into two segments: player and platform. Player revenue is generated by low-margin hardware sales and is growing modestly. But high-margin platform revenue was up 71% year over year in 2020, and 81% year over year in the fourth quarter alone.\nPlatform-segment revenue includes several items, one of which is advertising, which may be Roku's fastest-growing revenue driver. Video-ad impressions more than doubled in the fourth quarter, and advertisers are spending more on average than in times past. The reason is simple: Roku has an engaged, growing audience. And streaming allows for more-targeted ads, leading to better results for advertisers.\nIt's a trend that should only continue. In Roku's fourth-quarter letter to shareholders, management said that ad companies are increasing their commitments for 2021. This comes after the top six collectively doubled their spending in 2020. It strongly suggests they believe their investments with Roku are paying off, boding very well for future spending.\nAnd let's not forget about The Roku Channel. In the fourth quarter, viewership for The Roku Channel more than doubled from the previous year, outpacing overall user growth. This channel can be viewed on Roku's platform but also on web browsers and even on competitorAmazon's streaming-TV service.\nAll of this content is ad-supported, and now Roku is ready totake it to the next level. It purchased original content from Quibi to make available on its channel. This and future exclusive content might drive growth for The Roku Channel, boosting ad revenue even more.\n\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nDon't forget the rest of the world\nRoku is becoming ubiquitous domestically, but around the world, the company is just scratching the surface. In countries like Brazil and Mexico, it's making deals with local TV brands to be the operating system for various smart TVs. Long term, it will look to grow engagement just as it has in the U.S., which could be a huge tailwind in a few years.\nIt's not too late\nAs we've seen, Roku still has plenty of room for growth as people continue to switch to streaming, advertisers redirect budgets to platforms like Roku, and Roku expands worldwide. I doubt the stock will be a 27-bagger over the next four years, as it was the past four, but I still think it can beat the market.\nIf there's one thing to be concerned about in the near term, it's user engagement. Steaming hours increased 55% year over year while Roku users spent more time stuck at home because of the pandemic. That should decelerate in 2021, and I wouldn't be surprised if Wall Street responds negatively when it happens. But I believe growth in the other areas we've seen more than justifies buying Roku stock anyway.\nShould you invest $1,000 in Roku right now?\nBefore you consider Roku, you'll want to hear this.\nInvesting legends and Motley Fool Co-founders David and Tom Gardner just revealed what they believe are the10 best stocksfor investors to buy right now... and Roku wasn't one of them.\nThe online investing service they've run for nearly two decades,Motley Fool Stock Advisor, has beaten the stock market by over 4X.* And right now, they think there are 10 stocks that are better buys.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"ROKU":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":178,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
