3 Stocks That Could Make Huge Moves
Fuel Cell (Nasdaq: FCEL)
Why Are Investors So Negative?1. As solar components become more
commoditized, competition in China will naturally drive selling prices down.

1. Currently, 12% of available shares are being shorted.
2. Analysts estimate revenue will come in at $289 million.
3. Analysts estimate that earnings per share will come in at $0.40.
What to really watch
1. Pay close attention to management comments on the strength of the Chinese solar markets.

Why Are Investors So Negative?1. Comparable-store sales plunged by 15% over
the past fiscal year, a very negative sign for the brand’s popularity.
2. The American mall isn’t as busy as it used to be, and that hurts traffic at Abercrombie’s stores.

2. Analysts estimate the company will report revenue of $797 million.
3. Analysts estimate earnings per share will come in at a loss of $0.19 per share.
What to Really Watch 1. The company
predicted high-single-digit losses in same-store sales. Check and see how results measured up.
2. Keep an eye on gross margins, as the company’s focus on older adults could mean shrinking profits.
Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV)
Why Are Investors So Negative?1. This newly IPO’d organization, which
focuses on cloud solutions for drug companies, trades for a hefty 80 times earnings.
2. A recent secondary offering put pressure on shares. Many original shareholders of the company decided to sell their stake in the company in the follow-on offering.
