7 Stocks to Sell Before the New Year - 5 of 7

 
 

#5 - GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO)

What do you get when you cross a product that has failed to capture market share with a tantalizing stock price? You get GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO). This company has failed to gain traction with its core product offering and has recently taken to the subscriber model to capture recurring revenue.

The largest problem for GoPro is that smartphone technology has become so good that many consumers are using their mobile devices to take live-action video leaving little room for GoPro’s offerings.

I suppose professionals may quibble, but there are obviously not enough of those to drive revenue. Case in point, GoPro recently initiated a debt offering that would be an additional $100 million to the company’s $157 million in long-term debt. Coming off what was largely seen as a solid earnings report in September, this is not going over well with investors.

A recent 15% drop in the stock price still probably leaves the stock overvalued. The smart play is not to chase GPRO stock until there is a more compelling story concerning a return to sustained profitability.
