Pre-market second reading after the results
- Verdict
- Missed expectations
Heading into the open, results beat expectations on revenue but not on earnings, and the price is indicating -2.9% pre-market, a move below the stock's usual reaction (about 6%). The figures don't confirm the prior scenario: in past cases, the comparable cases aren't consistent enough.
