What happened with this stock today? I've been very confused with this stocks activity for the past few months.

Yes this stock screams manipulation or A lot of early leaked information. I realize most of the stocks have some pre quarter expectation built into the price But before the markets open they released a phenomenal financial quarter and the stock didn't even budge up a bit after the 1st few minutes and then crashed significantly down and kept going down. They then release another statement with I'd say more good news and the stock tanks even more. I could understand if the news was neutral but this earnings quarter what's phenomenal for them. Someone at the company needs to address why this is happening and why their price Moved so high before their open disclosure of financials Or is there something they're not disclosing That insider investors or brokers know that would force it down

HEAR Smashed their record in earning and provided higher guidance for the rest of the year....Strong Buy

This should skyrocket tomorrow, after morning earning and conference call. That is what I think.

Ha! Insider sale CFO $8.67, small amount. To cover taxes I assume

PSAR flipped to the positive, all we need is volume now to take care of the shorts!!

Chart is as bullish as it gets and we broke the middle BB (20 MA)-all systems are on for a run. But, we need VOLUME and Market Cooperation to break the 50 MA. The low volume is concerning me a bit, but it is a low float stock. I hope that the company buys some stock back this week to give us a push.

Wow, very nice average. You got in after last ER?. Mine is at $9.28. I hope that we break the 50 MA and run to $11. Are you planning to hold or swing around a core?

Is It Finally Safe to Buy Turtle Beach Stock?
Insiders are scooping up shares, but the company still faces formidable headwinds.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/06/15/is-it-finally-safe-to-buy-turtle-beach-stock.aspx

Turtle Beach (NASDAQ:HEAR) was one of the most volatile stocks of 2018. Shares of the gaming headset maker started the year at less than $2, surged to more than $30 by August, and were cut in half by the beginning of 2019. That pain continued as the stock stumbled nearly 30% in the first half of the year.

Turtle Beach's meteoric rise and fall were attributed to the explosive growth of "battle royale" games like PUBG and Fortnite, which let players communicate via headsets. Turtle Beach launched the first Xbox One-compatible wireless gaming headset just as the battle royale boom started, and it reaped massive rewards with triple-digit sales growth throughout most of 2018.

But booms often end in busts, and Turtle Beach soon faced stiff competition from first-party and third-party headset makers, tough year-over-year comparisons, and the saturation of the battle royale market. Turtle Beach's revenue growth decelerated sharply, its earnings plunged, and investors flocked to the exits.

However, that sell-off reduced Turtle Beach's forward P/E ratio to 8, and it trades at about 0.5 times next year's sales. CEO Juergen Stark, CFO John Hanson, and directors Andrew Wolfe and Ronald Doornink also recently bought nearly $400,000 in shares. Those purchases are small relative to Turtle Beach's market value of about $150 million, but they indicate that the stock could finally be bottoming out. So is it finally safe to buy Turtle Beach's stock again?
What happened to Turtle Beach?

Turtle Beach's posted triple-digit sales growth in the first three quarters of 2018. That streak ended in the fourth quarter when its sales rose only 40%, and decelerated again in the first quarter with just 10% growth.

It expects its sales to decline 29%-34% in the second quarter and fall 14%-16% for the full year. Those estimates are disappointing, especially since they include revenue from its pending acquisition of PC accessory maker ROCCAT. Without the ROCCAT acquisition, which was arguably a desperate attempt to diversify itself away from gaming headsets and the battle royale market, its full-year revenue would decline about 23%.

Turtle Beach's gross margin also contracted 380 basis points annually to 33% during the first quarter due to higher promotional and marketing expenses, refurbishing costs, and higher sales of lower-margin devices. Its adjusted net income improved 10% to $2.2 million, but its EPS fell 19% due to a higher number of outstanding shares.

Turtle Beach expects to post a loss during the second quarter, and for its full-year EPS to decline 25%-32%. That dismal outlook doesn't include any gains from ROCCAT, which is only expected to boost its earnings growth starting in 2020.

The biggest problems

Turtle Beach's biggest challenges include competition, long headset upgrade cycles (which last up to two years), sluggish video game sales, and waning interest in battle royale games.

Sony (NYSE:SNE), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Logitech (NASDAQ:LOGI), Razer, and other companies all sell gaming headsets that are comparable to Turtle Beach's. Turtle Beach still controls about 40% of the console headset market, but that could be attributed to the first mover's advantage it gained in 2017.

Therefore Turtle Beach's share could slide as users finally upgrade their aging headsets. Some gamers might even postpone their upgrades until Microsoft and Sony launch their new consoles in 2020.

Interest in Fortnite peaked last March according to Google Trends, and the game's viewership numbers on Twitch are declining. Electronic Arts' (NASDAQ:EA) Apex Legends was considered a potential successor to Fortnite earlier this year, but interest in the game seemed to peak after a few short months. That's troubling, because Juergen Stark mentioned Apex as a potential catalyst several times during the first-quarter conference call.

Turtle Beach's plan for ROCCAT is also worrisome, because it expands its portfolio with PC keyboards and mice -- which are both heavily commoditized products. Stark noted that sales of ROCCAT keyboards were robust in Germany, but it's unclear how the brand will fare against Logitech and other major players in other markets.
Turtle Beach's stock is cheap for a reason

Turtle Beach's recent insider purchases sparked a rally in the stock, but I suspect that was sparked by shorts covering their positions -- about half of its shares were being shorted at the end of May. Therefore, investors shouldn't follow management's lead and buy shares down here. The stock is cheap for a reason, and the strongest headwinds won't dissipate anytime soon.

3 Small Technology Stocks Insiders Are Buying

Coffee and chocolate—the inventor of mocha should be sainted.” ? Cherise Sinclair, Hour of the Lion

The market has done quite a bit better here in June compared with May, where the overall market fell just over six percent. Tensions with Iran and China still remain headwinds for equities. This has been counterbalanced nicely by increasing consensus the next move by the Federal Reserve will be an in interest rate cut, most likely at the September Fed meeting.

We are approximately a month away from the start of second quarter earnings season. So what are insiders buying now given the current uncertainty in the market? It appears there is some buying across the small technology sector. Here are three names that caught our eye.

Let's start with Turtle Beach (HEAR). This company is based just outside San Diego. Turtle Beach also develops various gaming headset solutions for various platforms, including video game and entertainment consoles, handheld consoles, personal computers, and mobile and tablet devices under the Turtle Beach brand. In addition, it provides directional audio with applications in digital signage and kiosks, consumer electronics, and hearing healthcare under the brand name of HyperSound.

The stock is seeing its first insider buying since November of 2017. Two separate directors, the company's CFO and its CEO together bought nearly $500,000 in new shares in a half dozen transactions for June 7th to June 13th.

Despite delivering a solid Q1 earnings report on May 8th, the shares trade near 52 week lows and off some 60% from highs last year. Q2 guidance was lower than the consensus but the company did reaffirm 2019 full year guidance of between $240-248 million in revenue and and $0.90-1.00 in EPS. Gross margins did fall to 33% from 36.8% in Q1. Insiders seem to signaling the shares look undervalued at current trading levels.

On Tuesday, June 11, 2019, fans can get the full Kain series experience at www.roccat.org/KAIN as ROCCAT unveils additional details and begins taking pre-orders for its latest, groundbreaking PC gaming mouse series.

Recon Spark Multiplatform Gaming Headset
Debuting a fun white and lavender style based on input from gamers who wanted a new, distinct look, the Recon Spark delivers comfort-driven performance with great sound and crystal-clear chat through its high-quality 40mm speakers and high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic. The Recon Spark's lightweight design, metal-reinforced headband, and glasses-friendly leatherette-wrapped memory foam ear cushions provide added durability and comfort. Additionally, the headset's standard 3.5mm connection makes it multiplatform compatible and ideal for use with Xbox One, PS4™ Pro & PS4™, Nintendo Switch™, PC gaming with the included PC splitter cable, and for mobile devices with a 3.5mm headset jack. The Recon Spark gaming headset will be available late July 2019 in limited quantities for a MSRP of $49.95, and is available for pre-order starting today at www.turtlebeach.com and at participating retailers.

As a result, the warrants are no longer accounted for as a financial instrument obligation or reported as a liability that is mark-to-market each period, what changes in fair value reported in earnings.

The warrants were mark-to-market through March 30, 2019, at which time the warrants are accounted for as an equity instrument with the fair value on that date reclassified to additional paid in capital.

Sell-Side Likes Turtle Beach Earnings, Future In Battle Royale World

Wall Street analysts continue to like gaming headset maker Turtle Beach Corp
HEAR 0.28%
, even as investors were selling the stock Thursday morning following a first-quarter revenue and earnings beat.

Analysts acknowledge an expected 2019 revenue drop after a big 2018, but say the large and growing market of gamers playing multiplayer “battle royale” games isn’t going away and will boost the company in the long run.

Turtle Beach reported earnings of 9 cents per share, ahead of the 6-cent Street estimate. Revenue in the quarter was up nearly 10 percent year-over-year to $44.8 million, beating estimates by nearly $3 million, and well ahead of management’s initial guidance.
'Extremely Encouraged'

D.A. Davidson analyst Tom Forte continues to see opportunities for full-year sales upside from more games being offered on a “freemium” basis, where players play for free, but can buy in-game upgrades. Forte also sees upside on a faster refresh cycle. Management looks good too, he said.

“We are extremely encouraged by the top-line and bottom-line beat,” Forte wrote in a note. “This further emphasizes our confidence in Turtle Beach’s management's ability to execute its strategy.”

Forte reiterated a Buy rating on Turtle Beach and increased the price target from $23 to $26.

Battle Royale More Than A Fad

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter remains bullish because Turtle Beach headsets have for years been favored by gamers in multiplayer games, known as battle royale games. But now those multiplayer games are the rage, and that’s not changing soon.

“We continue to view Battle Royale as far more than a fad, and think it will last for many years,” Pachter wrote. “Turtle Beach is the favored brand among console gamers, and as we see an uptick in multiplayer and Battle Royale gaming, the company should continue to gain share.”

Pachter also likes Turtle Beach’s recent acquisition of German PC accessories company ROCCAT, which gives Turtle Beach the chance to expand its product reach and its presence internationally.

Pachter is keeping an Outperform rating on the stock, but lowered the price target from $22 to $20.
Price Action

Turtle Beach stock ran up after the earnings beat Wednesday but was giving some gains. Shares were down more than 6 percent to $10.13 at time of publication.
