We're waiting for ZUO's earnings report next week. A quick overview:



Zuora Inc (ZUO) is reporting earnings on Wednesday. Lets focus in on how the stock is performing.

An EPS (earnings per share) of -$0.05, -$0.20 on a GAAP basis, on revenue of $97.54M is expected to be reported by Zuora Inc according to analyst consensus. Over the last 90 days, analysts have lowered estimates 4 times.

ZUO bulls will first be listening for news that the company beat the analysts' estimates. After that they'll want to hear that the company beat these expectations with robust revenues that were higher than expected. Finally they'll want to hear about a positive growth story that helps analysts frame the company's future as one of growth in the following quarters.

Grizzly bears possess a biting force of over 1200 PSI, which is enough to crush a bowling ball or an iron skillet. ZUO bears cannot do that, but they can listen for news that the company underperformed analysts' estimates for EPS, Revenues, or future guidance. They'll also want to build negative growth story that frames the company's future as one of deceleration or even decline in revenues over the following quarters.

Whether you're a bear or bull you'll want to be aware that occasionally a stock's price movement is caused by the analysts' estimates changing from the Q&A call with management, rather than from the earnings report itself. As you see more of these, you'll begin to notice patterns in the runup and rundown of the stock's price.

As of August 16 shares of ZUO are trading at $10.25. Over the last 52-week period, the price is down -55.91%. A larger move here can mean investors will have a stronger bullish or bearish outlook on the stock.
