What's Going On With Roku Shares After Partnering National Basketball Association?
Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) shares are trading lower after announcing a partnership with the NBA to launch the NBA FAST channel and NBA Zone exclusively on The Roku Channel. Despite this, Roku faced backlash for implementing mandatory dispute resolution terms, including forced arbitration, causing devices to become inoperable until users agreed to these terms. ROKU stock has lost over 5% in the past year, and investors can also gain exposure through ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKK) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:ARKW).
