4. Roku Inc. (ROKU)

Shares of Roku Inc (ROKU) rose by 6.42 percent on Wednesday to finish at $83 apiece after booking 90 million streaming households in the first week of the month.

The update from the streaming platform came after announcements in October that it was no longer giving updates on its streaming household numbers and average revenue per user. As of October, the company had 85.5 million streaming households.

Roku Inc (ROKU) previously said that it would focus more on platform revenue and profitability, rather than the number of streaming households. But the company said it planned to announce key milestones, such as reaching 100 million streaming households.

According to Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood, Roku’s extensive scale sets the company apart in the streaming industry.

“Thanks to our laser focus on simplifying and enhancing the streamer’s journey, Roku is the preferred choice for millions of viewers,” he said.
