Shares of streaming platform Roku Inc. (ROKU) soared over 10% in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the company's better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2024 financial results.

The strong performance was driven by robust growth in the company's advertising business and continued subscriber additions. Roku's platform revenue, which includes advertising sales and subscriptions, grew 25% year-over-year to $1.04 billion, fueled by increased advertising demand, particularly from the political vertical.

Additionally, streaming hours on The Roku Channel surged 82% year-over-year, reaching households with approximately 145 million people in the U.S.
