Why Roku's Stock Is Trading Higher Today

Roku ROKU shares are trading higher on Monday.

The strength is potentially related to an upbeat outlook for streaming demand amid a surge in U.S. coronavirus cases, which could lead to businesses and theaters closing or limiting capacity again.

The operating segments of the company are Player and Platform. It derives key revenue from the Player segment which consists of net sales of streaming media players and accessories through retailers and distributors, as well as directly to customers through the company's website.
