Advertisers released from annual TV upfront - so more spend to CTV. Roku monetized ad impressions grew 90% vs 50% in Q2. First-time adv. clients more than doubled yoy, driven by performance marketers using OneView ad platform, and TV advertisers focused on new products like incremental reach guarantees.

It is hard to dislike anything in this Q results. Roku has a P/S of 26.6 if you consider only the TTM platform revenue of $1.056B. They are projecting Q4 platform rev to grow about 60% and I would estimate 55%+ in 2021. I am surprised AH has Roku up only 2%ish. I picked up some more. It is a 14.5% position now!
