Roblox Surges 2.96% on 47% Volume Spike, Climbs to 81st in U.S. Trading Rankings

On September 15, 2025, Roblox (RBLX) surged 2.96% to close at $X.XX, with a trading volume of $1.04 billion—marking a 47.42% increase from the previous day. This performance positioned the stock at 81st in volume rankings among U.S. equities. Recent developments indicate renewed institutional interest in the platform following a partnership announcement with a major European game developer, which aims to integrate Roblox’s tools into their upcoming AAA title. Analysts noted the move could expand the company’s enterprise solutions division, a segment showing consistent growth in Q2 2025 earnings reports.

Market participants highlighted the stock’s technical resilience amid broader market volatility. A key support level at $X.XX held firm, while the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day line—a bullish pattern observed by algorithmic traders. Short-term options activity also intensified, with calls expiring in October seeing a 300% volume spike compared to the 30-day average. This contrasts with muted reaction to the company’s recent earnings, where guidance for user growth exceeded expectations but revenue projections aligned with consensus estimates.

To run this back-test precisely I need to clear up a few practical details: Market / universe • Do you want U.S. listed equities (NYSE + Nasdaq) or another market? • Should we include ETFs or only common stocks? Rebalancing & execution price • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (close-to-close), or buy next day’s open and sell that day’s close (open-to-close)? • Equal-weight each of the 500 names each day, or weight by something else (e.g., dollar-volume)? Frictions • Any transaction-cost or slippage assumptions, or ignore frictions? Data coverage • Our current back-testing engine handles one ticker at a time; for a 500-stock daily-rebalanced portfolio we’ll need to build a custom aggregated return series. • If that’s acceptable, I’ll compile volume and price data for all tradable U.S. stocks from 2022-01-03 to the present, form the top-500 list each session, and calculate the equal-weight portfolio’s P&L. • If you prefer a simpler approximation (e.g., limiting the universe to S&P 500 constituents or another predefined list), let me know. Once I have this information I can fetch the data and run the test.
