GoPro lowered its yearly revenue forecast from $1.35 billion to $1.5 billion previously, to between $1.25 billion and $1.3 billion.

McKay asserts, “We believe that the new HERO5 cameras and Karma drone have compelling feature sets and superior branding that should make them popular with an increasing number of consumers as supply constraints ease”.

During the investor call, CEO Nick Woodman said that the poor third quarter earnings are the outcome of a series of problems such as disappointing sales and production problems with the Hero 5 and Karma drone. The company reported ($0.60) earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing the Thomson Reuters’ consensus estimate of ($0.36) by $0.24.
