Roku Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>) shares are trading higher in Tuesday&#8217;s after-hours session after Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) reported better-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43114866/netflix-q4-earnings-highlights-nfl-squid-game-power-best-subscriber-growth-in-company-history">financial results for the fourth quarter</a>.
What Happened With Netflix: Netflix reported fourth-quarter revenue of $10.25 billion, beating analysts estimates of $10.11 billion. The streaming giant reported quarterly earnings of $4.27 per share, beating analyst estimates of $4.19 per share.
Shares appear to be soaring in response to the company&#8217;s strong subscriber growth. Netflix said it added 18.91 million paid subscribers in the quarter, bringing its total subscriber count up to 301.63 million.
Netflix noted that its advertising plan continues to be quite popular, generating over 55% of sign-ups in the quarter. The company&#8217;s ads plan grew nearly 30% on a quarter-over-quarter basis.
&#8220;We're on track to reach sufficient scale for ads members in all of our ads countries in 2025. A top priority in 2025 is to improve our offering for advertisers so that we can substantially grow our advertising revenue,&#8221; the company said.

Why It Matters For ROKU: Roku is well-positioned to benefit from strong advertising trends from Netflix and other streaming companies.
Roku creates revenue opportunities with streaming companies through partnerships and advertising. The company operates an advertising distribution platform, allowing it to capitalize on the growth of streaming. Netflix was reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/22/06/27622300/3-reasons-why-this-analyst-thinks-a-netflix-roku-deal-may-not-materialize" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">considering a takeover of Roku</a> a couple of years ago, but a deal never materialized.
Roku is due to report its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">fourth-quarter financial results</a> in early February, although a date has not yet been confirmed by the company. Analysts expect Roku to report a loss of 41 cents per share and revenue of $1.15 billion, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
ROKU Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/roku">Roku shares</a> were up 3.71% in after-hours, trading at $82.70 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) shares closed Tuesday down more than 11% following U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43091739/djt-stock-drops-3-in-tuesday-premarket-a-day-after-inauguration-key-details-about-trumps-media-company">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: Shares of Trump Media, the parent company of social media platform&nbsp;Truth Social,&nbsp;took a beating on Tuesday in the wake of Trump&#8217;s inauguration. The stock has moved up and down in recent months alongside Trump's&nbsp;chances of reelection. 
Despite Tuesday&#8217;s sharp decline, Trump Media shares are still up close to 14% over the past three months, buoyed by Trump&#8217;s election win in November. Trump owns more than a 50% stake in Trump Media, or roughly 114.5 million shares.
It&#8217;s possible that some of the profit-taking in Trump Media shares on Tuesday could be the result of money flowing into Trump&#8217;s recently-launched meme coin Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>), which was up approximately 18% over 24 hours at last check.

Trump Media is due to report financial results for the fourth quarter in about two weeks. In the third quarter, Trump Media reported a net loss of $19.2 million and revenue of just $1.01 million, which was down 6% year-over-year. 
Trump Media management acknowledged last quarter that the price action in Trump Media shares may be detached from the company's fundamentals because of its ties to Trump.
"TMTG's success depends in part on the popularity of our brand and the reputation and popularity of President Donald J. Trump. The value of TMTG's brand may diminish if the popularity of President Donald J. Trump were to suffer," the company said in its third-quarter earnings release.
DJT Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/djt">Trump Media shares</a> closed Tuesday down 11.09% at $35.59. The stock was down another 0.45% in after-hours trading at the time of publication Tuesday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
