Regency Associates: Investors punish action camera manufacturer, GoPro?s stock as earnings report disappoints.

Regency Associates: Shares of action camera manufacturer, GoPro, plunged following the release of its third quarter earnings report last week. The company, which went public in a blaze of hyperbole in 2014, posted earnings per share of 25 cents on revenues of $400 million when Wall Street had expected 29 cents a share on revenues of $434 million.

Revenues were still up 43% on the same quarter last year but investors sold the stock heavily in afterhours trading, at one point, wiping 18% off its value. The selling continued in the next day?s session with another 13% lost despite efforts by the company?s founder and CEO, Nick Woodman to reassure investors.

?GoPro?s always been something of a ?one-trick pony? as far as we?re concerned,? said Ahiro Noda, technology analyst at Regency Associates. ?There?s certainly value in their product as evidenced by strong sales over the years but did the company ever deserve the near-$6 billion valuation placed on it when its stock was at $90? We doubt that very much.?

With the stock now trading at $25 and having lost more than 60% of its value this year, Regency Associates predicts a bounce but one that is unlikely to be rooted in fundamentals.

?The company?s recently announced that it is to diversify into the growing drone market but we think its core camera products could be suffering from novelty fatigue and changing trends in so-called extreme sports. We still anticipate continuing demand for their products but we don?t see fairytale valuations remaining a part of their story going forward,? concluded Noda.
