  • Roblox CEO David Baszucki offloaded 66,896 shares, pulling in roughly $5.1 million, according to a securities filing.

Roblox CEO David Baszucki offloaded 66,896 shares worth around $5.1 million on Jan. 7, according to a U.S. securities filing. He also transferred additional stock to a charity and a family foundation. The Form 4 noted these moves were done under a Rule 10b5-1 Plan set up in August 2025—a pre-scheduled trading arrangement.

The disclosure comes amid a slide in Roblox shares, with investors snapping up insider sales as a cue on valuation. Roblox shares last traded at $73.27, down 0.8%.

Insider trades get reported on Form 4 filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, often catching notice in stocks with big sentiment shifts. Though sales might be pre-planned, their timing can still hit a nerve — Baszucki’s sales went through at about $76 to $77 a share, above the current stock price.

Director Anthony P. Lee offloaded 59,000 Roblox shares on Jan. 2, netting about $4.7 million, according to a recent filing. The sale was carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan set up in November 2024. Weighted-average prices ranged from around $79 to $82 per share. Sec

Roblox shares dropped roughly 6% on Jan. 6 after news broke of Lee’s stock sale, MarketBeat reported. Trading volume was notably light. The stock hit a low of $76.21 that day, according to the report. Marketbeat

Roblox’s shares moved in step with the wider gaming and interactive entertainment sector. Unity Software slipped 1.4%, Take-Two Interactive dropped 0.7%, and Electronic Arts edged down 0.1% at the last check.

MarketBeat reports that analysts covering Roblox carry a “Moderate Buy” rating, with an average price target set at $132.65. The stock, however, is currently trading well below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. According to MarketBeat, Roblox’s one-year trading range spans from $50.10 up to $150.59. Marketbeat

Roblox operates a platform where users create and explore virtual worlds, earning revenue by taking a share of the spending within those environments.

That said, insider selling is a blunt tool. A continuous stream of scheduled sales can put pressure on a stock, especially if the upcoming operating update falls short. Roblox is still a firm investors value for its growth potential, not short-term profits.

Roblox reported a quarterly loss of $0.37 per share on $1.36 billion in revenue, according to MarketBeat. Analysts are forecasting an average loss of $1.49 per share for the full year. Marketbeat

    February 1, 2026, 9:17 PM EST.

Underlying net profit after tax is forecasted between AUD 20 million and 50 million, sharply below prior expectations of AUD 87 million. CEO Robert Spurway cited record global production outpacing demand, pushing margins lower.
