GPRO's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $0.38 per share and revenue of $1.26 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +265.22% and +9.77%, respectively.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for GPRO. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
