JasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images In what is likely to be a “challenging waiting game for investors,” Wells Fargo’s Ken Gawrelski sees growth metrics for Roblox ( RBLX ) to become “meaningfully tougher” each month of the second quarter, translating into expectations for softer guidance for Q2. While the longer-term outlook for the company is bullish, Gawrelski expects Q2 bookings guidance of $1.765B to $1.80B (representing 23% to 25% year-over-year growth) will be below the consensus estimates of $1.875B (30% growth). Meanwhile, profitability challenges will be reflected in negative EBITDA and a gross profit margin of 24%. “We still believe FY26 guidance is achievable but will be more [second half of 2026] dependent,” Gawrelski says. To reflect the 54% retracement in Roblox ( RBLX ) over the past 6 months, Gawrelski lowered his price target by 20% to $78 but maintained an Overweight rating as the company’s expansion into the ad business “represents a large opportunity.” Moreover, a higher incremental margin for the ad business (versus microtransactions) will also allow Roblox ( RBLX ) to expand its margin at a faster pace than the current target of 100-300 basis points. Shares ended the day 5% lower to reflect the likelihood of lackluster guidance when the company reports first-quarter results before the market open on April 30, at which time Roblox ( RBLX ) is expected to report an adjusted loss of $0.41 per share on $1.75B in revenue.

In this article META Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (L) and Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla. Reuters OpenAI on Monday sent a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general, urging them to investigate "improper and anti-competitive behavior" by Elon Musk and his associates, as a high-profile trial nears between the two sides. In the letter, OpenAI strategy chief Jason Kwon alleged that Musk has been working to undermine OpenAI through various "attacks" on the company, including by "coordinating his efforts" with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg . Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman co-founded the artificial intelligence lab in 2015 as a nonprofit, alongside several other researchers and executives. Musk left OpenAI in 2018, after trying to convince executives to merge it with Tesla . He later launched a competing company, xAI, and sued OpenAI in 2024, alleging that he was "assiduously manipulated" and "deceived" after the AI company explored converting to a for-profit entity. Jury selection for the trial is slated to begin on April 27, in the Northern District of California.

"These attacks are designed to take control of the future of AGI out of the hands of those who are legally obligated to pursue the mission of ensuring that AGI benefits all of humanity, and put it into the hands of competitors who lack mission-driven principles and spurn any responsibility for safety," Kwon wrote. OpenAI has previously expressed related...

Tashi-Delek/E+ via Getty Images The last time I spoke about Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. ( PRAX ), it was in a Seeking Alpha article entitled " Praxis: Moving To Strong Buy Based On Ulixacaltamide Success In Treating ET ." With respect to this article, I mentioned that the company had achieved positive results from both of its phase 3 studies of the ESSENTIAL3 program using its drug ulixacaltamide for the treatment of patients with essential tremor [ET]. This was a huge event because it put into motion the next expected catalyst that was set for Q4 of 2025, which was that the company was to hold a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA to discuss the possibility of being able to file for regulatory approval of this drug. I'm happy to report that this meeting with the FDA went well in December of 2025 and that the company was able to submit its NDA of ulixacaltamide for the treatment of these ET patients. The last time I rated this stock, I gave it a Strong Buy rating, and I'm going to stick to this rating again. Not just because the company was able to submit its NDA of ulixacaltamide for ET. It goes deeper than that, and it is because the company also had another huge positive update relating to its pipeline after I had written about it. It released positive interim results from the phase 2/3 EMBOLD registrational cohort using its drug relutrigine for the treatment of SCN2A and SCN8A developmental and epileptic encephalopathy [DEE]. The interim study was stopped early due to overwhelming results from this EMBOLD trial. The thing is that not only was Praxis able to submit a New Drug Application [NDA] of relutrigine for the treatment of these specific SCN2A and SCN8A patients, but it also had it accepted by the FDA with priority review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act [PDUFA] target action date of September 27, 2026. The truth is that this program of targeting DEEs has two expansion opportunities, which are other reasons for my Strong Buy rating. The first expansion o...
