StockJumpers trajectory analysis reveals a negative market reaction to the earnings release. We were expecting to see a pop on the news on a beat, but like last quarter the stock fell in a big way even on a beat. They tend to be in-line on the metrics from their guidance and investors are more concerned about what they forecast going forward and any headwinds.
NOTE: The broad market is down 350 points
We are SHORT for this event, but think any down move will bounce back.
