Analyst Comments based on GoPro CEO’s Comments

Analyst Paul Coster referred to comments by Chief Financial Officer Brian McGee at a recent broker conference, in which he said channel inventory was poised to fall less than previously expected because of strong sell-in demand from retailers.

“First Take: Positive,” Coster wrote in a note to clients.

“We believe this applies to both domestic and international markets,” he wrote. “This may reflect the benefits of more marketing than this time last year, and a less cluttered product lineup.”  Market Watch

GPRO has a float of 84.43 million shares and traded 1.27 times the normal daily trading volume on Friday. For trading purposes, I would like to see GPRO open trading on Monday above $10.40 and if it does I would be looking to take a long position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.15 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
