Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener highlights Roblox (RBLX), Verizon (VZ), and Walt Disney (DIS) as the three entertainment stocks to research today.
  • Roblox has slid to new lows after recent safety-policy changes that are weighing on its near-term outlook.
  • These names had the highest dollar trading volume among entertainment stocks in recent days, signaling elevated investor interest; investors typically evaluate such companies on metrics like subscriber growth, ad revenue, and content/IP value.
  • Five stocks we like better than Roblox.

Roblox, Verizon Communications, and Walt Disney are the three Entertainment stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Entertainment stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is creating, producing, distributing or monetizing entertainment content and experiences — for example film and TV studios, streaming platforms, gaming companies, music labels, live-event promoters, theme parks, and related media or licensing businesses. Investors evaluate them using metrics such as box-office or subscriber growth, ad revenue and the value of content libraries/IP, while accounting for hit-driven volatility, high fixed costs, cyclical consumer spending and rapid shifts in distribution technology. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Entertainment stocks within the last several days.

It offers Roblox Studio, a free toolset that allows developers and creators to build, publish, and operate 3D experiences, and other content; Roblox Client, an application that allows users to explore 3D experience; and Roblox Cloud, which provides services and infrastructure that power the platform.
