Zynga Inc Shares Up 7%; Hot Stocks: OPXA, BBRY

Los Angelas, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2013 -- Zynga Inc (NASDAQ:ZNGA) stock performed well in anticipation of the delivery of this earnings report. On today’s market the company’s shares finished up 7%. Much of the boom in price today may have been due to positive whisper numbers that were being circulated throughout the day.

In the same three months of 2011, the company recorded earnings per share of 4 cents, after some items were removed. In that period the company took in revenues of $311 million. Analysts had expected the company to report a loss of 4 cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Zynga Inc released several new games in 2012, and much of the subsequent analysis on this earnings report will concentrate on how they performed individually. One of the firm’s biggest releases was Farmville 2. The social game looks to have disappointed in both players and revenue, but there are signs that point to the possibility of a surprise from that sector.

Another important development for the company was the increased attention given to the possibility of earning revenues form online gambling. The company’s Zynga Poker is one of the most enduring titles, and the prospect of monetizing it through legalized gambling is an interesting one. Online poker has, of course, not yet been legalized.

Zynga Inc shares rose to 7.66% to $2.95 in after hours trading.
