OUR TRADE PLAN: SHORT
ANALYSIS: StockJumpers trajectory analysis reveals a slight beat on the EPS numbers and revenue will be in line – but we think expectations are just too high and the stock will drop. This may not be a huge move but like last quarter which was a beat and drop, we see a similar pattern this quarter. The company is doing very well and we expect a glowing press release but any uncertainly in the markets and investors will sell unless the release is a spectacular beat.
We are overall SHORT for the eventr. The Trade Room will have updated news and moves.
(Note: This is an after-market release – today)
