- 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We raise CY19E net revenue from $1.023B to $1.061B (+42.5% y/y), driven predominantly by better active account growth. While 1Q net account growth and streaming hours upsized our expectations, TTM ARPU was in-line. 1Q showed better seasonal carryover of Roku TV and device activations, exceeding our net account adds by +1M. We now expect better ‘19E Roku TV shipments will drive an incremental +3M net new account activations. 1Q’s 3.4 daily average streaming hours well-exceeded our 2.8 estimate. While streaming hours don’t directly drive our revenue forecast, it’s an important engagement intangible, which should translate to improving ad leverage. With that said, we note Nielsen’s Total Audience report indicates US adults spend on average ~3 hours and 45 minutes per day watching live TV and another ~30 minutes on time-shifted TV." (5/9/2019)
