What to Watch When iRobot Reports Earnings
Public companies provide shareholders with quarterly updates, chock-full of numbers and commentary from management. When investing in stocks, it's important to have a thesis -- a theory about the things that will play out over time to make it a good investment. Then, with these quarterly updates, investors can compare reality with the thesis they came up with prior to investing to see if it's playing out.
In this video clip from Motley Fool Live, recorded on June 30, Motley Fool contributor Jon Quast explains to fellow contributor Brian Withers what he's watching when iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT) reports next time. The company is shifting strategies. Therefore, Jon is more concerned with management's commentary on its progress with establishing recurring revenue streams since it's still too early to be reflected in the financials.
