Roku target lifted to a Street-high $410 after HBO Max deal

December 17, 2020 by Retirement

Roku Inc. finally struck an agreement to bring AT&T Inc.’s HBO Max service to its platform, and that’s one more reason to believe in the company’s streaming “leadership,” according to one analyst.

Benchmark Company’s Daniel Kurnos upped his price target on Roku’s stock

to $410 from $300 Thursday morning, with the new target representing the highest among those listed on FactSet. Roku and WarnerMedia announced their deal late Wednesday.

Roku shares are up 4% in Thursday trading.

“While largely the expected outcome, the order of operations, including the addition of Peacock first, was somewhat perplexing, with Roku clearly unwilling to budge especially in light of what we believe was a much stronger negotiating position,” Kurnos wrote. “While we acknowledge that a lot of the good news already appears to be priced into the stock, we still anticipate a significant upside surprise in 4Q, driven by advertising strength bolstered by material CPM [ad-pricing] improvement, which should flow through into 2021.”

Kurnos argued that Roku’s deals to carry AT&T’s

Peacock service “are more meaningful than just the inventory they provide” because there was concern from bears that Roku’s negotiating leverage was shrinking. “While that may still be in the long-term cards, we have reduced both our [advertising-based video on-demand] and [streaming video on-demand] COGS [cost of goods sold] forecasts over the next 18 months based on beliefs around the deal terms and given commentary from lower-tier AVOD plays,” he continued.
