Roku vs. Alphabet: Which streaming ad stock is the better buy?

Roku and Alphabet are both positioned to benefit from the streaming advertising market, projected to grow at 21.5% CAGR through 2030. Roku's platform revenues grew 18% year over year to $4.145 billion in 2025, with first-quarter growth projected to exceed 21%. The company maintains gross margins of 51-52% and reaches 90 million streaming households globally. Roku monetises through its platform and The Roku Channel, leveraging first-party data for targeted advertising. Recent strategic moves include the Frndly TV acquisition to support a hybrid subscription-ad model. Meanwhile, Alphabet capitalises on YouTube's global reach and sophisticated ad ecosystem. Both companies compete for share in connected TV advertising, with Roku focusing on small and medium-sized businesses whilst expanding internationally in Mexico, Canada and Brazil.

Roku just added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films.

Roku just added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films. Roku is quietly building one of the best free streaming lineups out there. If you have been looking for more reasons to love your Roku device, here is a good one. Roku has quietly expanded The Roku Channel with six brand new free channels, available right now on all Roku TVs and streaming players. This latest addition brings the platform's already expansive library, which covers hundreds of live channels and thousands of on-demand titles, even further. What are the six new free channels on Roku? Here is the full list of what just landed on The Roku Channel: * Channel 313: Rawhide * Channel 314: The Beverly Hillbillies * Channel 624: Ink Master * Channel 815: Toso.o * Channel 978: MTV en Español * Channel 6036: Westerns Recommended Videos According to Cord Cutters, the new additions cover a genuinely varied mix of genres. Rawhide brings the iconic black-and-white Western featuring a young Clint Eastwood in an early breakout role, while The Beverly Hillbillies delivers the beloved 1960s sitcom about the oil-rich Clampett family adjusting to life in Beverly Hills. Ink Master serves up back-to-back episodes of the high-pressure tattoo competition series. Channel 6036 is a dedicated hub for classic Western films and series, MTV en Español caters to Spanish-speaking audiences with music videos and Latin entertainment, and Toso.o rounds out the lineup as the most mysterious addition of the bunch. What else has Roku been up to lately? This latest drop follows an already busy stretch for Roku. Last month, the platform added 16 new free channels and announced a partnership with Amazon Prime Video to offer Howdy, its new subscription service, to Prime Video subscribers. Gil Fuchsberg, President of Subscriptions, Partnerships, and Corporate Development at Roku, described the company's direction as making great entertainment more accessible. With six more free channels now live, that mission seems well on track.

Roku stock target raised to $120 as profitability surges and tech giants partner with streaming platform

Roku shares have risen 38% over the past year, outpacing the broader market. Baird analyst Vikram Kesavabhotla has raised his price target from $110 to $120, citing improving fundamentals and bullish catalysts. North America's leading streaming TV operating system has delivered double-digit revenue growth for 11 consecutive quarters. The company posted $80 million in net income in its latest quarter, double its initial guidance, and expects net income to triple in 2026. Free cash flow more than doubled last year. Roku now operates in roughly half of US homes, with time spent on its platform rising 15% year-on-year. The company has secured advertising technology partnerships with Alphabet and Amazon, whilst maintaining its market position against these tech giants.

Roku gains momentum but faces tough competition from Amazon, Alphabet, and Apple

Roku shares are down 10% year to date and over 70% in five years, despite recent positive financial results. The streaming company's fourth-quarter revenue rose 16% year over year to $1.39 billion, with platform revenue up 18% to $1.22 billion. The company swung to profitability with net income of $80.5 million and generated $484 million in free cash flow for the full year. However, Roku faces significant competitive challenges. The company is simultaneously building a TV operating system, running a digital advertising platform and producing content for The Roku Channel. This puts it in direct competition with Amazon, Alphabet and Apple—companies with trillion-dollar market capitalisations and vastly deeper financial resources. This multi-front battle against tech giants makes Roku's long-term growth story highly vulnerable despite recent operational improvements.
