This Teen Built a Game on Roblox -- Then Sold It for Millions
Teen developers are striking gold on Roblox (NYSE:RBLX), and investors are quietly pouring in behind the scenes. A 19-year-old who built Blue Lock: Rivalsan anime-inspired soccer gamesold it for over $3 million just months after launch. At its peak, the title hit more than 1 million concurrent players and was generating roughly $5 million per month for Roblox. The buyer? Do Big Studios, a firm that's been actively snapping up hit titles across the platform, including Grow a Garden, which broke records in June with 21 million simultaneous playerssurpassing Fortnite. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with RBLX. What's fueling this surge in deals is a structural shift in Roblox's ecosystem. A December platform update quietly made it easier for developers to transfer ownership of their gamessomething that used to violate Roblox's terms. That's opened the floodgates. Voldex, another acquisitive player, bought Brookhaven RP in February in a deal CEO Alex Singer described as bigger than Embracer Group's acquisition of Welcome to Bloxburg, which had been reported at around $100 million. Most of these deals are brokered on Discord. Many sellers remain anonymous. But behind the avatars, there's real moneyand increasing interest from capital providers like Raine Group and Shamrock Capital. Roblox's creator economy is now attracting serious financial attention. The platform is on track to pay out over $1 billion to developers this year, with the top ten creators earning $36 million each over the last 12 months. Valuations for games typically range from 112 months of revenue, depending on how stable the player base looks. Voldex has even inked partnerships with the NFL to rebrand games like Ultimate Football, extending their shelf life. Roblox isn't actively participating in these secondary market transactions, but the trajectory is clear: this could be the early innings of a new asset class where digital gamesespecially those born in teenage bedroomscommand multi-million-dollar exits.

Prediction: This Stock Could Join Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Apple in the $2 Trillion Club By 2035
Visa, a leading financial services company, is still some ways away from a market cap of $1 trillion. The company's significant growth prospects should lead to superior returns during the next 10 years. 10 stocks we like better than Visa › In 2018, Apple became the first publicly traded company to have a $1 trillion market cap. Since then, several more have joined it at that level and some of them have even exceeded the $2 trillion mark. Today, that exclusive club comprises Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple -- all of which are actually above $3 trillion -- as well as Amazon and Alphabet. Though payment network giant Visa (NYSE: V) hasn't even cracked the $1 trillion valuation ceiling yet -- its market cap is $680 billion as of July 11 -- I think it could join the $2 trillion club by 2035. The financial services powerhouse would need a compound annual growth rate of 11.3% during the next decade to hit that milestone. That would be no easy feat, but here's why the company could pull it off. What happens when you swipe (or tap) a credit or debit card at a point-of-sale system? Transactions of this kind are typically processed in seconds, but what goes on behind the scenes is fairly complex. Visa is at the center of it all, helping merchants connect with issuing banks and, effectively, request the data that shows whether a consumer has the money or available credit to cover the transaction. If they do, the transaction is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Every time a transaction is routed through its payment network, Visa pockets a small percentage of the total. According to some data, in the U.S. last year, there were an average of 1,781 credit card transactions per second, about 107,000 per minute, more than 6 million per hour, and almost 154 million per day. Of course, Visa isn't the only company in this industry, but it is the largest -- and the scale of credit and debit card usage in the U.S. should give investors an idea of the company's potential. There are nearly 5 billion cards in circulation connected to the Visa network, and during the 12 months ended March 31, it supported about 316 billion transactions and $16.1 trillion in payment volume. The company's dominance in the payments segment translates into excellent financial results. Its revenue, earnings, and free cash flow have all grown at healthy clips during the past decade. Meanwhile, it has maintained gross margins of about 80% and net margins in the vicinity of 50%. For a company of its size, that's outstanding. Visa can operate with such strong margins because it has already set up its nearly ubiquitous global payment network. Additional transactions don't meaningfully increase its cost of goods sold. In short, Visa has an excellent business that has performed exceptionally well in the past. That's no guarantee of future success, but there are good reasons to expect Visa to continue along the same path. From its fiscal 2014 through its fiscal 2024, Visa's revenue grew at a compound annual rate of almost 11%, going from $12.7 billion to $35.9 billion. It's net income measured on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis increased at a compound annual rate of 13.8%, going from $5.4 billion to $19.7 billion. The long-term trend away from cash transactions and toward digital ones helped drive these results, but Visa still has ample room for growth. In the next decade, it could perform similarly well as it captures more of the significant share of payment volume that is still handled via cash and checks. The company's biggest competitor, Mastercard, notes that there are still about $12.5 trillion worth of cash and check transactions made annually worldwide. That's before we point out that Visa will also benefit from the increasing use of e-commerce, an area where cash and checks are hardly viable options for most transactions. That should provide Visa with ample growth fuel through the next decade and beyond. True, competition from Mastercard is a risk, as are potential economic troubles that would lead to lower consumer spending activity. However, these challenges hardly change Visa's prospects. The company can perform well despite stiff competition thanks to its powerful network effect. And while macroeconomic headwinds could sap Visa's financial results, its business is built to survive such conditions and continue thriving. Visa is well-positioned to deliver the long-term growth it needs during the next decade to become a $2 trillion company by 2035. Long-term investors should seriously consider purchasing the company's shares and holding them for the long haul.

Is BigBear.ai Stock Heading to $20?
is dependent on a few clients for most of its revenue. The stock may appear cheap, but there's more to its valuation than meets the eye. 10 stocks we like better than › (NYSE: BBAI) has been on an absolute tear lately, with the stock rising around 90% in under a month. This brought its stock price up to the mid-$7 range, but could the stock move even higher to $20? That would essentially indicate the stock could triple from here. But is that a realistic expectation, or is it just a pie-in-the-sky figure that investors can only hope happens? While investors may hope that the stock reaches $20, hope isn't an investing strategy. Instead, investors should focus on what it would take for the stock to reach $20 per share and back-calculate whether that's a realistic expectation or not. provides AI services to numerous entities, with a primary focus on the government. Although isn't a young company by any means (it was founded in 1988), its revenue stream suggests that it's still a fledgling AI company seeking relevance. derives a significant amount of its revenue from just a handful of clients. This is a tell-tale sign of a company that's just getting started with expansion, as it hasn't won a large number of contracts. In 2024, four clients accounted for 52% of revenue. If one (or even two) of these major clients decided to leave, it could spell disaster for business. This is exactly what happened with one client, as a single customer accounted for 19% of revenue in 2022, then 9% in 2023, before the relationship was terminated in 2024. Fortunately for they replaced this lost business with another client that accounted for 11% of revenue in 2024. This all underscores a significant tipping point for -- if it loses its largest clients, the stock could plummet. On the other hand, if it signs a few more large contracts with new clients, the stock could surge. It's impossible to predict the future, which is why there's a ton of risk associated with as the stock could head in either direction at a moment's notice. If it loses some of its major clients, the stock isn't headed to $20; it could drop to $2. But if wins some big contracts, what would it take to hit $20? At first glance, valuation may seem cheap at 11.5 times sales, especially when you consider that most software companies trade between 10 and 20 times sales. However, there's a huge caveat to that range that was given. That assumes that the company can deliver typical software-level gross margins of about 80%. This high margin allows for potentially huge profit margins down the road, often ending up around the 30% mark. isn't a typical software company, as it's heavily focused on providing services to its clients. This isn't as high a margin business as pure software sales, and is why has a much lower gross margin than its peers. will likely never achieve the same profit margins as other software companies due to the high cost of revenue associated with its product. This suggests to me that the stock is actually very expensive at 11.5 times sales, and investors should exercise caution here. Even if revenue doubles, the stock would appear pricey unless its gross margins improve dramatically alongside that growth. Currently, growth isn't anywhere near doubling; it's barely keeping up with the rate of inflation. During Q1, revenue increased 5% year over year, while Wall Street analysts project a 6% growth rate for FY 2025. could secure some significant contract wins to boost this figure, but it could also lose clients just as easily.
