GoPro Shares Fall After Hours Despite Q2 Beat

GoPro filed its first earnings report since going public in late June, beating Wall Street estimates on both the top and the bottom line. Earnings of 8 cents a share were 2 cents a share higher than expectations. Revenue of $244.6 million also beat estimates and was 38% higher compared to the second quarter of 2013. Sales growth for the quarter was driven by increased demand for both the Hero 3+ Black Edition and accessory products.
