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 Technical Analysis
GPRO opened trading on Friday at $9.88 which was up from the previous days trading of $9.84. GPRO closed trading yesterday at $10.65, equivalent to a 8% increase from the opening price. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time GPRO traded above these levels was on June 9th when it traded at $10.90 . Taking a closer look at the daily chart we can see that GPRO has been on a downward trend dating back to April 22nd when it traded at $13.98. 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.
