Roblox Corp's stock fell 3.17% and hit a 20-day low amid ongoing concerns about its profitability and a new investigation into potential securities law violations. The investigation, led by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, focuses on whether Roblox executives made materially false or misleading statements that could undermine investor confidence. Despite a rebound in user growth and engagement, Roblox is projected to incur losses of $1.1 billion in 2025, raising alarms about its long-term profitability sustainability.
