Roku reported Q4 2025 results and announced plans to launch new streaming bundles in 2026, expanding its $3 Howdy ad-free subscription beyond the Roku platform and adding more premium partners including HBO Max. Rising subscription prices and cost-conscious consumers are the strategic drivers behind the expansion, aimed at boosting its profitable subscriber base. Users streamed 145.6 billion hours in 2025, a 15% increase from 2024, and Roku is nearing 100 million streaming households. Financials showed net income of $80.5 million, up from a $35.5 million loss in Q4 2024; revenue reached $1.4 billion, a 16% YoY rise. Management projects 2026 revenue of $5.5B and gross profit of $2.4B, with confidence in sustaining double-digit platform revenue growth and expanding profitability.
