Fitbit: Premium Services To The Rescue

Fitbit announces a major program with the Singapore Health Promotion Board. The deal has an initial value listed at $5 million with a CEO prediction that it would reach up to $120 million annually.

Fitbit: Why Insiders Sold Out Prior To The Holidays

Fitbit tops the iOS app charts following an apparently blowout holiday sales. The stock saw a muted reaction reinforcing the insider sales and highlighting fears of a repeat of the GoPro year.

Fitbit After The Post IPO Pop

Fitbit completed a successful IPO last week. The stock has continued rising after the IPO following the path of GoPro.

FitBit: Another Pricey IPO?

FitBit upped the IPO price range to $17 to $19. The integrated fitness tracking company is producing explosive growth and strong profits.
