San Mateo, CA – Manuel Bronstein, Chief Product Officer of Roblox Corp (NYSE:RBLX), has recently sold a significant number of shares in the company, according to a recent SEC filing. On February 11, Bronstein sold 26,149 shares of Roblox’s Class A Common Stock at an average price of $65.94 per share, amounting to a total transaction value of approximately $1.72 million. The transaction comes as Roblox, currently valued at $42.6 billion, trades near InvestingPro’s Fair Value estimate, following an impressive 51.7% return over the past year.

This transaction was executed to cover statutory tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of performance stock units. The shares were sold through a "sell-to-cover" transaction mandated by Roblox’s equity incentive plans, and not as a discretionary sale by Bronstein.

In addition to this sale, Bronstein also acquired 112,046 shares of Class A Common Stock on February 10 through the vesting of performance stock units, which did not involve any cash exchange. Following these transactions, Bronstein holds 659,163 shares directly.

Investors may note that these transactions reflect routine financial maneuvers related to stock-based compensation rather than a change in Bronstein’s confidence in the company’s prospects. According to InvestingPro, analysts remain optimistic about Roblox’s future, with multiple analysts revising earnings estimates upward for the upcoming period.
