GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) is in a similar position as several former hot IPOs were in the past times. The management at GoPro is failing to communicate with the investors properly in its operation. Following its one of the top IPOs of 2014, GoPro had got a stock rise over $90 last October. But since then, the shares have dramatically fallen off. After yesterday’s earnings report, things have started going from bad to worse.
It appears that GoPro is placing itself in the situation where it’s not likely to communicate well with its investors. So the major question here is, what exactly should investors really expect from GoPro? Unluckily, after getting public within a half-year or so, GoPro doesn’t even have years and years of a past performance to the point that investors will overlook what could just be small failures or minor malfunction at the start of its farfetched growth story.

GoPro only just released earnings that were very positive and in the company’s good turn. On the other side, it handed out an SEC filing following the earnings report that said Nina Richardson would resign as the Registrant’s COO as of February 27, 2015. A number of investors may perhaps feel that this would show the company losing its correspondent of adult administration. While GoPro made not a single reference of Richardson at all in its actual earnings release.
