Q3 Report - what do you expect?

[Lordkaiser]

What do you expect for Q3 results?
Some new secret cancelations? Or more like overwhelming sales-success?

btw is it possible at all to predict Sales? Isnt it completely random how many people decide to buy or not to buy an addon? All of the sudden everybody could decide to not buy the newest addon/Game, isnt that so?

It is not fully random, I believe. They have various metrics I am sure of gauging interest in a product.

I expect a tame and low-key Q3. AFAIK, Dharma was the only release during this quarter.
How would the Steam summer sale money come in? Would the whole summer sale money be Q3, or did the money from the June part of the sale come in Q2 already?

When is the Q3 report supposed to be coming out?

In the last report stream the old CEO Frederik Wester said that the steam summer sales are completely booked in Q3, if I remember correctly.

Let's hope it's better than Q2.
By the way does anyone know why the stock jumped so much during the last two reports? (especially Q1)

When is the Q3 report supposed to be coming out?

On 13-11. There will be a twitch stream with the CEO that day at noon central European as well.

The stock jumped up right after PDXcon. Some people have said it was because of the announcement that Paradox was acquiring HBS. Also the revenue and profit Paradox reported during the Q1 report was massive, which happened around the same time.

You already got the explanation for Q1, and I can't also remember the details myself.
As for the down after Q2, isn't it easy? Two games in development canceled and written off.

From Investing Answers:

"WHAT IT IS:
A quarter is a three-month period. There are four quarters in one fiscal year, as well as four quarters in each calendar year.

HOW IT WORKS (EXAMPLE):
In the finance world quarter 1 usually spans January 1-March 31; quarter 2 usually spans April 1-June 30; quarter 3 usually spans July 1-September 30; and quarter 4 usually spans October 1-December 31. For companies that operate on a calendar year basis, here's a closer look at a few recent and upcoming quarterly periods, along with the Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4 reference associated with each period...

Q1 2018 -- January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018
Q2 2018 -- April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018
Q3 2018 -- July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018
