Citron Research Exhorts Analysts To Upgrade GoPro As Stock Tumbles

In a tweet Friday morning, Andrew Edward Left's Citron Research urged Wall Street to upgrade GoPro Inc's (NASDAQ: GPRO) stock, which is down about 3 percent at $47.10 on Friday, 25 percent year-to-date and 35 percent over the past three months.

$GPRO will one of you analysts PLEASE upgrade this stock, where is incompetence when you need it??

Although Left is known for his activist short-selling, some Twitter users speculate with him being long, and thus wanting the stock to surge on a positive rating.

However, the company has seen no major Wall Street research firms weigh in on its stock for more than a month. Here are the latest ratings from the last quarter.

• JP Morgan: Overweight, $70 price target
• Wedbush: Outperform, $98
• Pacific Crest: Sector Perform
• Piper Jaffray: Neutral, $90
• Barclays: Equal-weight, $60
• JMP Securities: Market Outperform, $105

The lowest of these price targets implies a potential upside of approximately 27 percent.
