At first, investors were, to a certain degree, skeptical about the company going public, since its portfolio counted with only one product – with no shortage of competition. Despite the substantial success of the GoPro action camera, the skeptics argued that “the market offered little room for differentiation and the predominantly young target group would soon be drawn to cheap alternatives to GoPro’s products.”

However, 13 months have gone by since GoPro’s IPO, and the company continues to deliver, proving the skeptics wrong. The stock started trading at an IPO price of $24.00, and is now trading above $64, up almost 170 percent. Moreover, Richter highlights, the company reported yet another great quarter last Tuesday. Earnings came in at $0.35 per share on revenue of $419.92 million, beating the Street’s consensus estimate of $0.25 per share and $395.27 million. “What’s more important though, is that the company managed to reignite its growth engine after a temporary dip in early 2014,” the analyst adds.

Apparently, many investors and analysts underestimated the potential and strength of GoPro’s brand -Richter notes, as the company continues to lead the market it helped create.

“GoPro even managed the rare feat of becoming synonymous with the product it sells, making it hard for competitors to gain a foothold in the market. For GoPro, the next logical step is a camera-carrying drone, which the company plans to release in 2016,” the analyst concludes.
