But what really dragged on Zynga's stock is the fact that the company lowered its outlook for 2012, saying it now expects bookings in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.225 billion, far short of the up to $1.5 billion Wall Street expected.
Now the company’s projecting non-GAAP EPS for the year in the range of 4 to 9 cents, just a fraction the 26 cents that’s Wall Street’s consensus.
This is guiding quite a bit lower to say the least. I wonder if this bodes ill for Facebooks earnings tomorrow? I just thinking the give the game away for free and use ads model might not be a good recipe for growth unless there are compelling things to spend money on.
