Roblox (RBLX) shares have decreased by 15.5% over the last 21 trading days. The sharp decline can be attributed to a combination of factors: widening losses, ongoing margin pressure, and a series of legal challenges. Notably, a new lawsuit filed by the Texas Attorney General concerning child safety on the platform has particularly soured market sentiment. But here’s the thing – RBLX stock still appears overvalued, which, along with a history of only modest recovery following declines, indicates a certain level of risk. Take a look at the following information: Size: Roblox is a $74 billion company with $4.5 billion in revenue, currently trading at $106.84. Fundamentals: The revenue growth over the last 12 months is 32.7%, with an operating margin of -25.0%. Liquidity: The company has a Debt to Equity ratio of 0.02 and a Cash to Assets ratio of 0.33. Valuation: Presently, Roblox stock is trading at a P/E multiple of -76.9 and a P/EBIT multiple of -80.2. It has delivered a median return of 4.9% within a year after sharp declines since 2010.

Specifically, we should consider whether, in a dire situation, if RBLX falls another 20-30% to around $75, would we still hold onto the stock? What could be the worst-case scenario? We refer to this as downturn resilience. It seems that the stock has performed significantly worse than the S&P 500 index during various economic downturns. We evaluate this by examining (a) the extent of the stock's decline and (b) the speed of its recovery.
