Pre-market second reading after the results
- Verdict
- Beat expectations
Heading into the open, results beat expectations on both earnings and revenue, and the price is indicating +1.0% pre-market, a move below the stock's usual reaction (about 5%). The figures don't confirm the prior scenario: that move is too small to draw conclusions from.
