Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) saw its shares surge around 20% intra-day today after the company lifted its full-year bookings guidance, signaling strong demand despite recent challenges.

The gaming platform now expects fiscal 2024 bookings between $4.34 billion and $4.37 billion, up from its previous forecast of $4.18 billion to $4.23 billion and surpassing the consensus estimate of $4.22 billion. This guidance boost came as Roblox reported strong third-quarter results, with bookings reaching $1.13 billion, well above the expected $1.02 billion.

Despite recent controversies, including Turkey’s August ban over child safety concerns and allegations from Hindenburg Research questioning user metrics and safety practices, Roblox continued to perform well. The company’s daily active users jumped 27% year-over-year to 88.9 million, marking its largest spike in nearly two years. Roblox has also been actively expanding its offerings to appeal to older audiences, aiming to broaden its user base and boost engagement.
