Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

  • Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 2, 2026

What Roku's revenue is made of

Roku reports two segments. Platform, which covers digital advertising and streaming services distribution (subscription revenue shares, Premium Subscriptions and Roku's own subscription services), had revenue of $1,308.3 million in Q3 2026, up 23%. Devices, the sale of Roku streaming players and Roku-made TVs, had $193.7 million, up 33%. Total net revenue was $1,502.0 million, up 24% from $1,210.6 million. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 13, 2026)

Roku's Advertising revenue rose 23% to $727.4 million because video ad impressions grew 33% on higher engagement and streaming hours, partly offset by a 7% fall in the average price per impression, which Roku tied to product and country mix. More than 80% of Roku's in-stream video ad impressions were delivered programmatically, and Roku said political advertising in Q3 exceeded the comparable quarter of the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026)

Subscriptions revenue rose 23% to $580.9 million on a 7% increase in the number of subscriptions and a 27% increase in the average price per subscription, helped by Roku's own services, including Howdy, launched in August 2025. Subscriptions gross margin fell 1.8 points to 40.9%, and Roku named a mix shift toward Premium Subscriptions as the largest factor. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026)

Roku's Devices revenue rose 33% to $193.7 million even though the number of devices shipped fell 21%, because the average selling price rose 71% on higher sales of Roku-made TVs. Devices revenue excludes the Roku TV models built and sold by licensed TV makers, which account for most of Roku's unit volume. Devices gross margin was (25.1%), which Roku attributed mainly to elevated memory costs. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026)

Revenue from Roku's international markets was less than 10% of the total in each period. Streaming Hours on the platform were 39.9 billion in the quarter, up 9%, and Roku said more than 100 million households worldwide use it. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026)

What Roku's EPS includes

Roku's GAAP diluted EPS was $1.20 in Q3 2026, against $0.16 a year earlier, on net income of $183.3 million, up from $24.8 million. Income from operations rose to $164.1 million from $9.5 million as total gross profit grew 24% to $648.5 million and total operating expenses fell 6% to $484.4 million. Roku does not report an adjusted EPS figure; its non-GAAP profit measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which was $248.8 million. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026)

Roku's Sales and marketing expenses fell $51.2 million, or 21%, because of $42.1 million lower marketing spend and a $19.2 million credit from buying out previously impaired floors of a corporate office. General and administrative expenses rose 17%, including $13.4 million of merger-related costs tied to the Fox transaction. Other income, net, was $23.9 million and income tax expense was $4.0 million. (Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026; Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026)

Stock-based compensation, which Roku excludes from Adjusted EBITDA but which counts against GAAP EPS, was $79.3 million, down from $88.0 million. Diluted weighted-average shares were 152,636 thousand, against 151,580 thousand a year earlier. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Consensus and guidance at Roku

Roku gave no financial outlook with its Q3 2026 results. Its shareholder letter says that in light of the pending acquisition by Fox, announced on June 15, 2026, it will not host an earnings call and will not provide a financial outlook. The letter says Roku remains on track for the second-half 2026 forecast it provided in the proxy statement for the deal. (Roku Q3 2026 shareholder letter, Nov 2, 2026)

Under the merger agreement Roku stockholders are to receive 0.9693 of a share of Fox Class A common stock and $96.00 in cash per share, with the stock portion set at 40% of the aggregate value of the consideration. (Roku Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 2, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Roku, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check ROKU's figures yourself

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Roku published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

  • The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
  • The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
  • The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
  • Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
