"Walmart's Strategic Moves: From Digital Advertising to TV Acquisition in Battle Against Amazon"

Walmart's acquisition of Vizio for $2.3 billion has sparked concerns about competition for Roku, but it's likely part of Walmart's strategy to challenge Amazon in the digital advertising space. Both Vizio and Roku sell hardware at a loss to focus on higher-margin software revenue, and Walmart aims to leverage Vizio's ad-focused platform to compete with Amazon's powerful digital advertising business. While this news may impact Roku's sales through Walmart, Roku's strong track record and growing user base suggest it may continue to outshine competitors in the long term.
