Post-Vaccination concerns mount on Roblox Shares

Roblox (RBLX) shares plunged yesterday by -5.01% as investors fear that reopening of schools will weaken engagement of its young user base.  Roblox, an online game platform and game creation system that is widely popular among kids younger than 13. It allows them to program and play games created by other users.

The company, which began publicly trading its shares in March, reported that revenue rose to $454.1 million from $200.4 million in the year-ago quarter, while bookings grew to $655.5 million from $494.2 million in the year-ago period. Roblox however booked double the losses this quarter ($140.1 million) compared to the year-ago period ($71.5 million).

Despite the impressive topline, RBLX shares enthusiasts fear that growth may wane as teens go back to school and have less time to be active on the platform.

Huge losses from one single share can be avoided through diversification. ETFs can be the tool to explore winning investment opportunities while spreading the risks. Roblox is a holding in several Gaming and Technology ETFs, including the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (BETZ), with a 4.85% allocation. VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ESPO) also holds RBLX shares, worth 4.48% of its total assets.
