Why Roblox Stock Skyrocketed 50% in November

Shares of Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) rocketed 50.1% in November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. This performance compared with the S&P 500 index's 0.8% decline last month. The catalysts for the gaming platform operator were its strong third-quarter results and investor excitement about its potential to be a big player in the metaverse, a highly immersive virtual world where people can interact.

Since the company went public in March via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange, shares are now up 63% from the opening price on the first trading day. The S&P 500 has returned 15% over this same period.
