Roblox shares soared 25% on Wednesday as the gaming platform popular with kids and teenagers topped quarterly bookings estimates after a focus on attracting wider audiences helped it defy a sector-wide slowdown from pandemic peaks.

Bookings, generated from in-game purchases of Roblox's virtual currency "Robux," rose 17% to $899.4 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31, beating analysts' expectations for $881.4 million, according to Refinitiv data.

Average daily active users stood at 65 million in January, compared with 58.8 million at December-end. Roblox also posted a smaller-than-expected loss of 48 cents per share in the fourth quarter. "User spending on Roblox is more resilient than consumer spending on other forms of entertainment due to the lack of consistent pricing; there are no subscriptions or fees that are being raised to keep up with inflationary pressures," Cauley said.

Finance chief Michael Guthrie said capital expenditures related to infrastructure were expected to be down "somewhere between 25% to 30% in 2023."Shares since Roblox went public
