Artisan Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:
"Our biggest detractors in Q4 were Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX), Veeva and Spotify. ROBLOX is a leading user-generated content platform with strong global growth and operating leverage, supported by AI-driven innovation and infrastructure advantages. The company delivered exceptional growth in 2025, driven by viral hit games such as Grow a Garden and Steal a Brainrot, both of which set global records for peak concurrent players. Recent results were strong, with revenue and bookings up 48%and70%YoY, respectively. Despite this performance, shares declined 42% during the quarter (but were still up 21% for the year) amid uncertainty about sustaining momentum after a massive year and the timing of future hit titles. While new blockbusters are difficult to predict, we believe management is making the right investments to support long-term growth, and we added to the position on weakness."
