It recently posted disappointing third-quarter financial results, which were hampered by a pullback in streaming advertising, and warned of further softness in the current quarter despite the holiday season boosting overall levels of streaming. The company&#8217;s once-high-flying stock has crumbled, losing about 80% of its value in 2022 to date.<\/p>\n<p>As with Netflix, Amazon and other tech names, Covid was a potent boost for Roku but it has been tougher sledding recently, particularly as many advertisers have pulled back on spending due to the broader economic climate. Rising inflation and a looming recession have led even ultra-reliable sellers of advertising like YouTube to report declining revenue of late. Tech companies like Meta Platforms, Amazon and others have laid off workers as they look to find equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>Roku remains one of the primary gateways for streaming, with more than 65 million active accounts across smart-TVs and connected devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Stories<\/h2>\n<h3>Michel Hazanvicius&#8217;  Oscar Winner &#8216;The Artist&#8217; Set For Stage Adaptation<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/MCDARTI_EC004.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Amy Reisenbach Upped To Entertainment President; Kelly Kahl Exits &#038; Thom Sherman Steps Down<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/nel.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Mel Gibson Won&#8217;t Be Testifying In Harvey Weinstein&#8217;s L.A.
