Will Roku stock soar in 2020 after the CFO departure?

By Staff Correspondent |

Roku Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) stock has fallen over 13% in the past month and over 8% in the past three months due to a more challenging year ahead. Also, the stock, which remained lower on Tuesday, is impacted by the departure of finance chief Steve Louden, who will be leaving after a new successor is appointed by the company. However, the TV streaming platform operator has seen its stock soared more than 306% in 2019.

Investors remained concerned about the departure of Louden, who joined Roku as CFO in 2015 and played an important role in the public listing in September 2017. Traders believed that Roku’s position could turn worse in the TV streaming space due to stiff competition from the giants Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
