Did ROKU Beat Earnings? Q3 2026 Results

Yes. Roku reported Q3 2026 earnings of $1.20 a share on Nov 2, 2026, beating the $0.55 consensus estimate by 119.0%. Revenue was $1.5B against a $1.4B estimate.

Roku delivered a blowout third quarter for fiscal 2026, posting GAAP earnings per share of $1.20, well ahead of the $0.53 consensus estimate for a beat of 126.42%, extending the company's streak of beating EPS consensus to six consecutive quarters. Revenue climbed 24.1% year over year to $1.50 billion, topping the $1.41 billion consensus by 6.36%, as the Platform business fired on multiple cylinders. The primary engine was advertising, where programmatic delivery now accounts for more than 80% of in-stream video ad impressions and the Media and Entertainment vertical posted its strongest year-over-year growth in four years; a 470-basis-point expansion in gross margin to 63.2%, driven by a mix shift toward higher-margin ad products, further amplified the results. GAAP figures include a $22.30 million gain on lease termination recorded within restructuring charges and $13.57 million of merger-related costs tied to Fox Corporation's pending acquisition of the company. With that deal announced in June, Roku skipped its earnings call and issued no new guidance, saying only that it remains on track with the second-half 2026 forecast provided in its proxy statement.

Key Takeaways
  • Advertising gross margin of 63.2%, up approximately 470 bps YoY on a mix shift toward higher-margin ad products
  • More than 80% of in-stream video ad impressions delivered programmatically
  • Political advertising exceeded the comparable 2024 presidential cycle quarter
  • M&E vertical posted its highest YoY revenue growth in four years
  • World Cup Sports Experience drove more than one million subscription sign-ups
  • Approximately 95% of Premium Subscription sign-ups came from customers who had never subscribed to that service directly
  • New Home Screen reducing Premium Subscription cancellations
  • Roku-made TVs approached 8% of U.S. TV unit sales volume
  • Streaming Hours of 39.9 billion, up 9% YoY
  • Sales and marketing expense down 21% YoY

What Is Roku's Outlook?

Due to the pending acquisition by FOX, Roku did not host an earnings call and did not provide a financial outlook. The company said it remains on track for the second half 2026 forecast provided in the proxy statement. It expects TCL and Hisense partnerships to contribute to Roku TV model unit volume in Q4 2026, with Roku TV distribution costs, a significant component of S&M expense, weighted toward Q4 2026. It plans to expand DSP integrations including Google DV360 in the coming months, roll out the new Home Screen internationally, and add more live features.
