- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "iRobot reported better-than-expected first-quarter 2018 results. Quarterly adjusted earnings of 66 cents per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 32%. The upside stemmed from sturdy demand for home-robotic products and the Robopolis acquisition. iRobot believes the ongoing marketing programs will continue to drive its revenue growth in the upcoming quarters.

Lingering headwinds such as stiff rivalry in the U.S. robotic vacuum cleaning market or a sudden supply chain issue might hurt the company’s revenues and profitability in the quarters ahead."
