10 Stocks Lead Friday’s Charge

8. Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU)

Roku Inc. extended its winning streak for a third straight day on Friday, adding 6.06 percent to finish at $78.29 each as investors cheered the company’s partnership with Monster Jam to add its FAST channel to its platform.

Under the agreement, ROKU will bring Monster Jam trucks, stunts, and races for free to millions of households across the US.

The Monster Jam channel will feature a vast selection of content from 20 years of its TV shows, including the current season with full event replays, behind-the-scenes access, and exclusive interviews with champion drivers.

Meanwhile, ROKU recently earned a “buy” rating from Guggenheim Securities, saying that it believes the company will exit the year “at its strongest” level amid expectations of continued improvements.

“Specifically, we believe actions including improved focus on monetization-based operating metrics, broadening third-party partnerships, and expanding revenue-generating offerings while incrementally focusing on profitability and free cash flow generation are driving a more valuable enterprise,” it said.
