With June's arrival, we're racing toward the halfway mark of 2023 -- and valuations for growth stocks have also generally been racing higher. The growth-heavy Nasdaq Composite index has now climbed 25% year to date, but there are still top tech companies trading at levels that leave room for investors to see explosive gains over the long term. Following its initial public offering in March 2021, Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) stock went on to hit a lifetime high of nearly $135 per share in November of that year as pandemic-related conditions helped the company record stellar engagement and bookings growth.
Don't jump to conclusions just because the metaverse isn't quite the priority it used to be for Facebook parent Meta.
Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) shares had been rallying ahead of its much-anticipated earnings update in mid-May, and the company didn't disappoint. Revenue growth was strong, and cash-flow trends impressed, even as the digital-entertainment specialist continued to book net losses. Most Wall Street headlines focused on Roblox's accelerating growth rate that has pushed sales gains up to over 20% today from a negative result a few quarters back.
These companies operate at the intersection of technology and media trends, and have what it takes to be big winners.
Despite the market's recent volatility, some companies are offering investors sizzling stories worthy of consideration.
I'm no fan of the saying, "Sell in May and go away." Unsurprisingly, and in keeping with The Motley Fool's guidance, I tend to hold stocks for the long term. In fact, rather than selling in May, I'm adding shares to my portfolio this month.
Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) is an online gaming platform that lets users play games in various virtual 3D worlds.

While the Nasdaq Composite index is up roughly 21.5% this year, it also remains down roughly 21% from its all-time high. Growth stocks are still in bear market territory, and many companies that saw big valuation boosts at the height of the pandemic continue to trade at massive discounts compared to previous highs. In addition to bullish catalysts created by stimulus initiatives and low interest rates, many software companies saw engagement catalysts from shelter-in-place and social-distancing conditions.
