Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company’s ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q3, GoPro posted an ROCE of 0.06%.Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company’s recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company’s earnings or sales in the near future.View more earnings on GPROROCE is an important metric for the comparison of similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows GoPro is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and earnings per share growth.In GoPro’s case, the positive ROCE ratio will be something investors pay attention to before making long-term financial decisions.Q3 Earnings Recap GoPro reported Q3 earnings per share at $0.2/share, which beat analyst predictions of $0.06/share.See more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Unusual Options Activity Insight: GoPro(C) 2021 Benzinga.com.

GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced that it will release its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020, after the market closes on February 4, 2021.

The latest features, announced at CES, underline that priority, making the cameras simpler and more automated for rentals and hands-free operation. If you’ve got a Hero 7, 8 or 9 Black, or Max, you should be able to download the latest GoPro Labs firmware, which adds the following convenient features.

GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced that its GoPro Labs special firmware program has released an update that unlocks innovative and experimental features for advanced users. The program supports HERO9 Black, HERO8 Black, HERO7 Black and GoPro MAX.

On Tuesday, shares of GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO) saw unusual options activity. After the option alert, the stock price moved down to $9.2. * Sentiment: NEUTRAL * Option Type: SWEEP * Trade Type: CALL * Expiration Date: 2021-07-16 * Strike Price: $8.00 * Volume: 7 * Open Interest: 2064Three Indications Of Unusual Options Activity One way options market activity can be considered unusual is when volume is exceptionally higher than its historical average. The volume of options activity refers to the number of contracts traded over a given time period. The number of unsettled contracts that have been traded, but not yet closed, is called open interest. These contracts are not yet closed because a buyer has not purchased the contract, or a seller has not sold it.Another sign of unusual activity is the trading of a contract with an expiration date in the distant future. Usually, additional time until a contract expires allows more opportunity for it to reach its strike price and grow its time value. Time value is important to consider because it represents the difference between the strike price and the value of the underlying asset.Contracts with a strike price far from the underlying price are also considered unusual because they are defined as being “out of the money”. This occurs when the underlying price is under the strike price on a call option, or above the strike price on a put option. These trades are made because the underlying asset value is expected to change dramatically in the future, and the buyer or seller can take advantage of a greater profit margin.Understanding Sentiment Options are “bullish” when a call is purchased at/near ask price or a put is sold at/near bid price. Options are “bearish” when a call is sold at/near bid price or a put is bought at/near ask price.These observations are made without knowing the investor’s true intent by purchasing these options contracts. The activity is suggestive of these strategies, but an observer cannot be sure if a bettor is playing the contract outright or if the options bettor is hedging a large underlying position in common stock. For the latter case, bullish options activity may be less meaningful than the exposure a large investor has on their short position in common stock.Using These Strategies To Trade Options Unusual options activity is an advantageous strategy that may greatly reward an investor if they are highly skilled, but for the less experienced trader, it should remain as another tool to make an educated investment decision while taking other observations into account.For more information to understand options alerts, visit https://pro.benzinga.help/en/articles/1769505-how-do-i-understand-options-alertsSee more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Looking Into Ford Motor’s Return On Capital Employed * Return On Capital Employed Overview: IBM(C) 2021 Benzinga.com.
