Fitbit Inc. in Focus
Fitbit Inc. manufactures and markets wearable fitness-tracking devices. The company’s product line consists of Fitbit Zip, Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, Fitbit Surge, and Aria. It also offers accessories which include bands and clips, charging cables, and Fitbit apparel. Fitbit Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, California.
Fitbit Inc. is coming off of an earnings beat of $0.07 last quarter, which represented an earnings surprise of 175%. The company has been on a streak of beating earnings estimates, posting higher-than-expected EPS figures in each of its last 4 quarters. Fitbit Inc. has posted an average earnings surprise of 167.86% over the last 4 quarters.
Heading into this earnings report, our Most Accurate Estimate for Fitbit is $0.04, which is in-line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
While sales for Fitbit have been robust in the first half of the year, negative analyst earnings estimate activity, increased levels of spending, poor user engagement, and threat of competition has battered the stock in 2016, despite a major beat on earnings and revenue estimates in Q1. Last quarter, product innovation, expansion of global distribution, network effects of the Fibit community and prudent investments were main growth drivers. For the second quarter, the company planned heavy investments in research and development, sales and marketing, and consumer engagement features.
