Current situation

Since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, Roku has seen a sharp spike in the number of users because the population are isolating in their homes. There have been three million new viewers added to the streaming service's database in the first months of 2020.

For the company, this has resulted in a drastic amount of new accounts and the streaming hours have more than tripled. Following their announcement, their stock increased by almost 5% and they are obviously adapting to the current situation.
