Roblox Stock Tanks After Surge of Lawsuits and Global Bans
Aug 15 - Shares of Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) fell sharply on Friday as scrutiny mounts over the platform's safety measures for young users. The NYSE-listed stock dropped more than 7%, reflecting mounting concern from investors. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with RBLX. The Louisiana Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Roblox, claiming the company failed to implement robust safety protocols, creating opportunities for child predators. Meanwhile, a federal lawsuit in California added to pressure, with reports indicating over 300 legal actions tied to child exploitation. Internationally, Qatar banned the platform this week, following Turkey, Iran, China, Jordan, and Oman, citing threats to minors' safety and moral standards. The ban comes amid viral social media attention, notably a YouTuber, Schlep, who conducted a sting operation leading to six arrests. Roblox responded by banning his accounts and issuing a cease-and-desist notice, while safety officials emphasized that vigilante actions, though well-intentioned, create risks for users. Oppenheimer analysts admit the consistency of policies used by the company but indicate that the crisis highlights the conflict between the company's business model and the need to protect the young users. The counterstrike demonstrates the stakes of the online gaming industry as the government and social sites are growing more regulatory across the world. Based on the one year price targets offered by 31 analysts, the average target price for Roblox Corp is $134.95 with a high estimate of $175.00 and a low estimate of $30.00. The average target implies a upside of +15.76% from the current price of $116.57. Based on GuruFocus estimates, the estimated GF Value for Roblox Corp in one year is $91.99, suggesting a downside of -21.09% from the current price of $116.57.

BofA Says 'It Better Be Different This Time,' as Stock Valuations Give Dotcom Bubble Vibes
With U.S. stocks sitting near record highs, Wall Street analysts say one key metric is starting to draw dotcom bubble comparisons. The S&P 500's price-to-book value ratio has climbed to 5.3, a touch above extreme valuations seen in March 2000, right before the dotcom bubble burst, according to Bank of America market strategist Michael Hartnett. Except, "it better be different this time," Hartnett said in a note to clients Thursday. Factors that would suggest the current market cycle is unlike the one in the 1990s—when tech stock valuations ballooned, and subsequently burst in the early 2000s—include bond allocations, the boom in artificial intelligence, currency debasement as well as global rebalancing away from the U.S. to the rest of the world, he said. However, investors partying on hopes the Federal Reserve cuts rates sooner rather than later could drag on the U.S. dollar, as rate cuts would lower the returns and attractiveness of investments in the currency. The firm's Bull & Bear Indicator sits in neutral territory, at a 6.1 on a scale of zero to 10 that measures extreme bearishness to extreme bullishness. "If not different this time, bonds get some love," Hartnett wrote; international stocks would be favored over the S&P 500 too. Investors appear "pumped" with expectations the Fed could soon join the "central bank rate cut party," with valuations being the only hurdle to pushing corporate bonds and stocks higher, he said. Traders are currently pricing in a roughly 87% chance the Fed will cut rates at its next meeting in September, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool. However, a sharp pivot from Fed's recent policy stance could also give rise to fresh debates on the central bank's independence, and "disruption [equals] debasement," Hartnett said, suggesting a policy disruption could drive the U.S. dollar index below 90 and push investors to seek inflation and currency devaluation hedges in gold, crypto, and emerging markets in the second half of the 2020s. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the relative strength of the dollar compared to other currencies, has declined more than 9% this year, at around 98 as of Friday afternoon. A weaker dollar might prove useful for the Trump administration to see a "'25/'26 boom & bubble," Hartnett said, which he added could be an easy way "to reverse path of US debt & deficit trends."
