Fitbit, Inc. just released its fourth-quarter and full year 2017 financial results, posting an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share and revenues of $570.8 million. Currently, Fitbit is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and is down nearly 11% to under $5 per share in after-hours trading shortly after its earnings report was released.
FIT:
Missed earnings estimates. The company posted an adjusted loss of $0.02 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of break-even earnings.
Missed revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $570.8 million, falling well short of our consensus estimate of $587.03 million.
Fitbit revenues fell from $573.8 million in the year-ago period. The company did note that it sold 5.4 million wearable devices in the quarter, with the average selling price up 20% year-over-year. This was driven by higher prices for its new Ionic smartwatches.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2018, Fitbit expects “limited revenue from new product introduction.” The company now projects sales will fall between 15% and 20%.
“In 2018 we’ll focus on managing down expenses, continuing to expand in the smartwatch category and supporting our engaged global community on their health and fitness journeys,” CEO James Park said in a statement.
Here’s a graph that looks at FIT’s Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise history:
Fitbit Inc. manufactures and markets wearable fitness-tracking devices. The Company's product consists of Fitbit Zip, Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, Fitbit Surge and Aria.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.
