“Improvements in camera usability have not been able to sustain demand, and with limited earnings power, we think the market is giving too much credit to GoPros strategic value”, Morgan Stanley analyst Yuuji Anderson said in a note to clients, cited by CNBC.
“Whether by itself or within another ecosystem, GoPros value is tied to its usability, and its earnings power remains at risk at the current pace of functional improvements”, Anderson added.
