Analysts say Roku has shown great upside by diversifying its revenue away from chiefly hardware to partnerships and advertising over its platform.

"Over the past two-and-a-half years, Roku has expanded their product lines, evolved their platform business with smart-TV makers, and continued to build out its advertising business," said Brett Sappington, director of research of at consulting firm Parks Associates. "A platform-based approach and their advertising business will be keys to their future revenues and success."
