Although net loss of $9.7 million, or 9 cents a share, revenue rose to $207 million from $137 million a year earlier ago.&nbsp; Also, active-account base grew by 2 million users sequentially, reaching 29.1 million in the first quarter.&nbsp; And for the full year, Roku forecast $1.03 billion to $1.05 billion in revenue, slightly ahead of expectations.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>This opportunity in the large streaming trend makes ROKU a great position to increase its number of users, the analysts said. As a result of its leadership in the sector, ROKU shares could soar three to five times over the next three to five years.</p><p>ROKU got its start in streaming hardware, with a "stick" that would allow users to access their streaming services. Now, "smart-TVs" are on the rise with services like Netflix (NFLX) already built in.</p><p>But ROKU has become a leader in smart-TV software, allowing the company to take advantage of this trend as well. ROKU will benefit even more from the shift to smart-TVs, especially as services like NFLX, Amazon Prime (AMZN), and Disney+ (DIS) battle to get their streaming services in front of as many eyes as possible. No matter which streaming service comes out on top, ROKU should benefit.</p>
