The "Grow a Garden" Boom: Is Roblox Stock Unstoppable? - The Globe and Mail

The Motley Fool analyzes Roblox stock's potential amid the massive success of the Grow a Garden game on its platform.

Roblox stock has more than doubled in 2025, largely driven by the breakout success of Grow a Garden, which recently set gaming records with over 22 million concurrent players. The simple gardening simulation has boosted Robux purchases and attracted new users to the platform. However, despite impressive 25% revenue growth reaching $2.1 billion in the first half of 2025, the company still struggles with profitability, posting increased operating losses of $577 million.

• Grow a Garden broke gaming records, surpassing Fortnite's previous concurrent user milestone
• Roblox stock gained 120% year-to-date but faces profitability challenges with widening losses
• The platform's advertising potential and diverse game library suggest long-term growth opportunities
• High valuation at 21 times trailing revenue raises questions about sustainable stock performance
