Roku price target raised to $84 from $68 at Citi on Amazon partnership

Citi raised its price target on Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock to $84 from $68 on Wednesday, while maintaining a Neutral rating following the streaming platform’s new partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). The stock, currently trading at $80.63, has delivered an impressive 53.49% return over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.

The partnership, announced Tuesday, will integrate Amazon’s demand-side platform (DSP) with Roku’s connected TV (CTV) inventory and provide Amazon’s DSP exclusive functionality to identify viewers across streaming channels.

Citi believes the move enhances Roku’s competitive positioning in the CTV space and provides incremental confidence in the company’s growth trajectory, according to its research note.

The firm raised its estimates to reflect the potential benefits of this new partnership, which aims to improve advertising capabilities across Roku’s platform.

Despite the higher price target, Citi maintained its Neutral rating, noting that the benefits of the partnership are "largely priced into the equity at prevailing levels."
