StockJumpers trajectory analysis reveals a drop in price post release on soft investor sentiment. Consensus has earnings at .76/share on bookings of 512 million. They may not meet that or if they do, we don’t see them beating by much. Though competitor EA which just reported a beat and the stock went up post release we are not seeing that here.
We are overall SHORT on the event.

UPDATE: We remain biased short on this trade. The stock is down almost 4% from open so the concern is the move may be priced in. Factor that in your decision to trade it.
POST RELEASE ACTION: Trading was halted prior to the release as they printed much lower expectations. The stock dropped 7% – and then back up to near close level. We grabbed a quick profit and are short again with a belief it will resume dropping in the am.
