A stock is a share of ownership in a company. Owning one means you own a small piece of that business.
In the company's own words, from Item 1 (Business) of its latest annual report (Form 10-K) filed with the SEC on 2026-02-13.
Roku, Inc. (“Roku,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the leading TV streaming platform in the United States, Canada, and Mexico by hours streamed.
We pioneered TV streaming and believe that all TV will be streamed. The shift of the TV ecosystem to streaming continues and is expanding TV’s capabilities for viewers, content partners, advertisers, and other industry participants. Nearly every major media company not only has a streaming service, but has also expanded beyond pure subscription streaming models to ad-supported streaming options. Advertisers use TV streaming to reach viewers who are increasingly unreachable on traditional TV, while also benefiting from the digital advertising capabilities that TV streaming platforms can deliver.
