Goldman Trims Roblox's Target to $125 but Keeps the Buy Rating: Is the Engagement Story Still Intact?

"Goldman's price target cut to $125 reflects realism, not retreat. Intra-quarter data and ongoing platform initiatives continue to support the view that Roblox is scaling its long-term growth strategy and increasing its market penetration."

"The key debates Goldman flags center on whether the platform's engagement momentum is holding and whether management is executing on its expansion playbook. Those aren't new concerns, but they carry more weight given that Roblox's FY2026 guidance projects bookings of $8.282 billion to $8.553 billion."

"The over-18 user cohort is emerging as a critical growth lever. That segment is growing at over 50% and monetizes 40% higher than younger users, a combination that underpins Goldman's longer-term confidence."

Goldman Sachs has reduced its price target for Roblox to $125 from $140 while maintaining a Buy rating, indicating confidence in the company's long-term growth despite near-term challenges. The firm emphasizes the importance of engagement trends and execution as key factors leading into the Q1 earnings report. Roblox's FY2026 guidance projects significant bookings, necessitating consistent operational performance. The platform's user base is expanding, particularly among users over 18, who show higher monetization rates, supporting Goldman’s long-term outlook.
