GoPro, Inc.

Key Points
The action camera maker rolled out a new line of accessories.
This was only one element in its rise that day, however.
The combination of a broad meme stock rally and the introduction of a new set of products made GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) a popular stock on Wednesday. With those tailwinds, shares of the action camera and accessories purveyor jumped almost 5% higher, on a day when the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) was hit with a 0.5% sell-off.
A tasty development
While not all meme stocks are created equal, they can move more or less in tandem. Fortunately for GoPro, that momentum is positive just now. Much of this has to do with recent news from fellow meme title Beyond Meat, which has seen its share price rocket higher in recent days.

This arose from a tender offer for $1.1 billion worth of Beyond Meat convertible debt that ended up minting over 316 million new shares of its stock. That'll result in some serious share dilution, but at a stroke it improves the balance sheet immeasurably. As of Wednesday, the food company's shares were still rising in a relief rally, and other meme stocks were riding the wave.
Separately, GoPro announced a lineup of new accessories for its current GoPro 360 cameras. The rather extensive set of offerings includes a lens replacement kit, a premium battery, a protective case, and an extension pole, among other 360-enhancing products.
A bit too focused
It almost goes without saying that investors should be very judicious and careful with any meme stock. After all, they are volatile and can spike or sink on even the most trivial of developments. Personally, I feel that GoPro has good products, but it's selling into a niche market that's limited, in an environment where many consumers are satisfied enough with their smartphone cameras.

Why GoPro Stock Surged by 5% on Wednesday

Key Points
GoPro made a list of top trusted businesses.
The action camera specialist has been flagged as being exceptionally trustworthy.
Inclusion on a list of prestigious businesses was a key news item driving GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) stock's price 19% higher on Monday. This double-digit rise easily topped the 0.4% increase of the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) that trading session.
A high degree of trust
GoPro has been selected for inclusion on Newsweek's 1,000-strong annual list of World's Most Trustworthy Companies for 2025. This compilation is broken down into 23 categories, and the action camera maker was No. 5 in its category: appliances and electronics. All told, 33 companies comprised that category.

The company wasn't shy in touting its inclusion. In its press release touting this, GoPro mentioned that it's now been included on Newsweek's list for two years in a row.
The magazine says its rankings are based on "extensive independent surveys," of 65,000 people in 20 countries. Collectively, these individuals submitted 200,000 company evaluations based on a trio of criteria (customer, investor, and employee trust).
In GoPro's press release, the company quoted founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman as saying, "This recognition underscores our commitment to product quality, innovation, and super serving our customers."
Let's keep our eyes on the ball
These days, GoPro is among the current crop of meme stocks that can rise or slide precipitously on any kind of news item. Newsweek isn't the must-read periodical it used to be in the pre-social media days, but still, the company's win is certainly a notable, positive development. Yet, investors should be more concerned with GoPro's fundamental performance than the victories it scores in the media world.

Why GoPro Stock Soared by 19% Today

Key Points
GoPro launched a pilot program recently that allows users to opt in to monetize their video footage.
The millions of hours of footage can be used to train AI models.
Shares of GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) soared this week, up 28.1% as of 2:15 p.m. ET on Friday. The spike came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indexes lost 0.1% and 0.4%, respectively.
GoPro, best known for its compact action cameras, reported strong results from its new artificial intelligence (AI). In just two weeks, subscribers uploaded more than 125,000 hours of footage.

GoPro launches AI pilot program
GoPro recently launched a new pilot program that allows members to opt in to sell their video footage to third parties that use it to train AI models. GoPro then gives each user half the revenue it generates from their footage.
The trial, which began with a small U.S. group, was a major success -- 125,000 hours of footage was uploaded, representing a significant portion of the available footage. With 2.45 million subscribers and 13 million hours of stored content, GoPro has a deep library that could turn into a recurring revenue stream.
A meme stock boost
The early success has fueled retail enthusiasm, with some investors drawing parallels to Opendoor's AI-driven hype. Like Opendoor, GoPro is seen by retail traders as sitting on untapped data assets that can help it transform its business.
Still a risky bet
While the program adds a new angle, GoPro's core business, consumer action cameras, remains niche and is saturated by large competitors. The AI licensing effort may generate buzz, but it is unlikely to transform GoPro's long-term outlook. I'd remain cautious on the stock.

Why GoPro Stock Skyrocketed This Week

Key Points
The company appeared to benefit from meme stock optimism, as it had no news of its own to report.
Investors might be eager to take advantage of a weakened stock price from a known brand.
Investors sure liked what they saw when peering through the viewfinder of GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) stock on Monday. Absent of any proprietary, share price-moving news, the company seemed to benefit from what appeared to be the latest meme stock rally.
With this considerable tailwind, GoPro shares closed the day almost 36% higher in price, numerous orders of magnitude better than the S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) 0.4% drop.

A modern watercooler stock
GoPro is one of the latest crop of meme stocks, and as ever, that clutch of titles can rocket higher or plunge lower, depending on internet chatter.
This has happened to GoPro before, and it seems as if it fueled Monday's surge -- after all, the company had no news of its own to report, nor did it disclose any developments in its operations (or with its stock) in any regulatory filing.
One key element that puts GoPro in a position where it can be very volatile on the market is its extremely low price (which was barely over $1.20 Monday morning before the rally kicked in). At such a level, it doesn't take much to move a stock drastically either up or down, so even a little bit of online buzz can move GoPro sharply.
A concerning quarter
Although the company didn't have any news to report today, it's hit the headline in recent trading sessions. Earlier this month it published its second-quarter earnings report, revealing a worrying (18%) year-over-year decline in revenue, on the back of a 23% decline in action cameras, its main product category.
It also posted the latest in a string of bottom-line losses, although that latest deficit was narrower than that of the year-ago period.

Why GoPro Stock Rocketed 36% Higher Today

David Gardner on "Rule Breaker Investing"

Key Points
GoPro posted another decline in revenue, and extended its streak of bottom-line losses.
The company is struggling with the "yesterday's news" aspect of its hardware products.
GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO), one of a clutch of 2025-edition meme stocks that surged in price earlier this summer, hasn't been going very far this week. On Monday evening, the company published its latest quarterly earnings report, and this sapped any energy left in that meme rally. The following day, the stock suffered a nearly 4% decline, and in reading that earnings report, we can see why.
A fuzzy picture
Firstly, in line with several previous quarters, GoPro again reported a significant decrease in revenue. Its top line eroded by 18% year-over-year to land at $153 million. That was due largely to sales of its core product, action cameras, sliding by 23% to roughly 500,000 units. Subscription and service revenue, a relatively small but critical contributor to the top line, went sideways at $26 million.

On a brighter note, GoPro managed to trim its net loss under both GAAP and non-GAAP (adjusted) standards. The adjusted net shortfall was $12 million, or $0.08 per share, exactly two-thirds narrower than the $36 million loss in the year-ago period. Yet it remained stubbornly in the red on the bottom line.
Despite the rather negative investor reaction, GoPro actually posted a mixed quarter with those headline figures. After all, it beat the consensus analyst estimate for revenue (of just over $146 million), although it slightly missed for adjusted net loss ($0.07).
But as any seasoned investor is aware, the law of gravity frequently applies with stocks. What comes up must come down, and for a stock that flies high -- like GoPro did when it was tagged with emotion-driven meme stock status in mid-July -- the fall to earth can be sharp and sudden. GoPro's decline hasn't (yet) been steep and it's still up 20% year to date; likely the revenue beat and only slight bottom-line miss have something to do with that.
The trend isn't a friend
But since I'm a fundamentals-focused investor and analyst, I think it's important to tease out the dynamics behind GoPro's numbers.
It wasn't so long ago that the company's innovative adventure cameras were all the rage, propelling the stock's popularity. Before the COVID pandemic, people were getting out into the world, and social media sites like Meta Platforms' Instagram offered suitable venues for broadcasting footage of mountain bike rides, ski runs, exploratory walks in foreign cities, etc.
What happened to reverse that trend? In a word, smartphones.
The world is now packed full of these devices, which are affordable to folks of even modest means. Wrap a smartphone in a reasonably tough, weatherproof case -- which isn't a considerable investment these days -- secure it somehow to your person, and instantly you have an action camera to document that cool axe-throwing session or bungee jump.
Across its history, GoPro's cameras have won praise for their utility, ruggedness, and the quality of their output. Yet it's hard to justify spending, say, $360 for a HERO13 (without accessories) when that ever-convenient iPhone can deliver results that at least approach what you'd get from the GoPro. Plus, in this cluttered modern life of ours, who needs yet another device or subscription service?
Artificial hopes?
In my view, management has been doing what it can to get the growth train running. Years ago it did a fine job establishing that subscription and service revenue stream, which is holding steady (and producing plenty of the green stuff with that $26 million quarterly figure).
More recently, just after the meme stock rally in the company began, it announced an opt-in artificial intelligence (AI) training program. In it, U.S. subscribers to GoPro services can volunteer to make their content available for AI developers to build and enhance their models. The company said it will share 50% of the license fees generated by such efforts, meaning it's in front of a new revenue source.
Yet as exciting and high-potential as AI is, I doubt this and any other valiant revenue-boosting effort will turn around GoPro's fortunes. Dedicated action cameras are looking like the hot technology of the past, and since the company is still centered on this hardware, I think more declines are on the way -- ditto for those red bottom-line numbers.

GoPro, Inc. GPRO has launched two powerful new tools—MotionFrame and POV—to enhance the 360-editing suite in its Quik mobile app. MotionFrame allows users to create dynamic edits simply by moving their phone during 360 video playbacks. Users can effortlessly produce standard video files that reflect their desired perspective by leveraging the phone's gyroscope and touch controls. Further, the POV tool introduces a new way to create immersive “see what I saw” videos. It automatically aligns the edit’s perspective with the direction of travel during the original recording, using GPS data from the GoPro MAX camera.
With the continuous expansion of its mobile and desktop editing tools, GoPro is making it easier for users to get the most out of their GoPro MAX 360 camera. Available on both iOS and Android, these features make it easier than ever to transform immersive 360 footage into engaging, traditional fixed-frame videos and photos.
GoPro, Inc. Price and Consensus
These new tools join a robust suite of 360-editing features in the Quik App. Users can use AI-powered object tracking, which keeps a selected subject in frame throughout the clip; keyframing, to define smooth pan and zoom transitions and CameraFx, which adds cinematic movements like rotations and flips with a single tap. The app also supports single clip edits, frame grabs from videos, and cloud editing for GoPro Premium or Premium+ subscribers, enabling direct edits from cloud-stored footage.
GoPro offers the Reframe plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for desktop editors, providing detailed control over angle, lens distortion, horizon leveling, motion blur and more, bringing the full power of 360 reframing to professional workflows.
GoPro’s Product Innovation On Track
GoPro’s focus on product innovation to boost customer interest and business diversification bodes well. It unveiled the refreshed MAX 360 camera, with the MAX2 expected later in 2025 to recapture market share in the 360-camera category. The newly introduced Anamorphic Lens Mod for HERO13 Black is a cost-effective tool for creators and filmmakers.
Expansion into the smart helmet market is expected to unlock a new revenue stream. The Forcite Helmet Systems acquisition and latest joint development with AGV mark GoPro’s entry into the $3 billion tech-enabled motorcycle helmets market. A strong innovation tempo, especially in creator-focused accessories and high-growth camera segments like 360, can jumpstart revenue recovery and consumer re-engagement.
In May 2025, the company introduced a new special edition of its flagship HERO13 Black camera — the HERO13 Black Ultra Wide Edition — designed to elevate first-person video capture with a dramatically expanded field of view.
The company’s first-quarter results highlight its strategic focus on operational efficiency and long-term growth. Operating expenses fell year over year, while subscription ARPU increased, reflecting improvements in revenue quality. The company continued to diversify its supply chain to better adapt to changing market conditions.
On the lastearnings call management stated that the organization is performing more efficiently and expressed confidence that the product launches in the latter half of 2025 and in 2026 will support a return to growth in both revenues and profitability.
For the second quarter of 2025, revenues are estimated to be $145 million (+/- $10 million). Non-GAAP adjusted loss is forecasted to be 7 cents per share (+/- 4 cents).

Meta Platforms’ shares have outperformed the Zacks Internet - Software industry over the past year (+31.3% vs. +21.9%). The company is benefiting from steady user growth across all regions, particularly Asia Pacific. Increased engagement for its offerings like Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook has been a major growth driver.
META has been leveraging AI to improve the potency of its platform offerings. These services currently reach more than 3.43 billion people daily. Meta Platforms’ growing footprint among young adults, driven by improving recommendations, boosts its competitive prowess. AI usage is making it a popular name among advertisers. This is expected to drive top-line growth.
Meta Platforms now expects to invest significantly over the next few years in developing more advanced models and the largest AI services in the world. However, monetization of these AI services will take considerable time, which is a concern.
(You can read the full research report on Meta Platforms here >>>)
Shares of JPMorgan Chase have outperformed the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry over the past year (+34.9% vs. +23.5%). The company’s first-quarter 2025 results reflected solid capital markets performance and loan demand. Business expansion efforts, decent loan demand and higher rates support net interest income (NII). We expect NII (managed) to show a CAGR of 3% by 2027.
While a solid resurgence in deal-making activities is likely to take time, a solid pipeline will drive the Investment Banking (IB) business. We expect IB fees to witness a CAGR of 2.1% by 2027. Yet the volatile nature of the capital markets business and high mortgage rates will hurt fee income growth.
The Zacks analyst estimate for the metric shows a 6.2% fall in 2025. As it invests in technology and marketing, expenses are expected to remain high. Our estimates for non-interest expenses imply a CAGR of 2.9% by 2027. Weak asset quality is a concern.
(You can read the full research report on JPMorgan Chase here >>>)
Intercontinental Exchange’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry over the year-to-date period (+16.3% vs. +13.6%). The company’s top line benefits from its compelling product and service portfolio, the broad range of risk management services and strength in global data services.
Continued strength in its energy franchise and improving recurring market data revenues are likely to keep growth on track. Strategic buyouts help it achieve cost synergies that are in sync with its aim of generating long-term value for shareholders. It is well-poised for growth due to accelerated digitization in the U.S. residential mortgage industry.
Intercontinental Exchange also engages in the effective deployment of capital. However, expenses are likely to remain high in the near term. Foreign currency fluctuations and stricter regulations raise concerns. High interest expenses and high leverage pose risk.
