Roku Stock Is Falling: What's Going On?

Roku Inc ROKU shares are trading lower Thursday after the company announced a round of job cuts.

"Due to the current economic conditions in our industry, we have made the difficult decision to reduce Roku’s headcount expenses by a projected 5%, to slow down our OpEx growth rate," the company said in a statement Thursday morning.

Roku operates a streaming platform that enables content publishers to build and monetize large audiences and provides advertisers with unique capabilities to engage consumers.
