9 Stocks That Could Go Bankrupt in 2019 - 6 of 9

 
 

#6 - FitBit Inc. (NYSE:FIT)

FitBit Inc. (NYSE: FIT) - Along the lines of GoPro, FitBit created a product with technology that was, in some cases, already available, too easy to copy in other cases. Either way, the product was not as marketable as once thought, and it didn’t help matters that Apple’s iWatch became far more marketable than the company thought. Largely because while Apple was not first to market, they quickly became the recognized name. FitBit’s brand name should carry on well into 2019, but analysts don’t foresee the market for FitBit’s consumer electronics hardware wearables to increase and the company doesn’t have any plans to expand on its product line which leaves the only other path to growth a drastic cutting of expenses that would bring the company more in line with its anticipated size. The company reported a 15% decline in second-quarter sales and a negative free cash flow of $83 million. To make matters worse, the company is forecasting a 3% year-over-year revenue decline for Q3 with a negative free cash flow of $30 million and net income per share within a range of  -$0.02 and $0.01.

Forced out of retirement by these trades (Ad)

You know, I never really intended to get in front of a camera and tell folks about a new market paradigm that I discovered. Even though I have a bright and shiny “resume,” I thought I’d left investing behind forever. And I was more than happy to be a stay-at-home dad… But then I discovered Gamma Pockets… and everything changed

Make sure to check out Gamma Pockets HERE while it’s still widely available
