Risks for IROBOT CORP (IRBT)

Here are some interesting risks from the recent filings of IROBOT CORP. Our algorithms work hard to highlight risks unique to this company.

We operate in an emerging market, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.

Our business currently depends solely on our consumer robots, and our sales growth and operating results would be negatively impacted if we are unable to enhance our current consumer robots or develop new consumer robots at competitive prices or in a timely manner, or if the consumer robot market does not achieve broad market acceptance.

We face intense competition from other providers of robots, including diversified technology providers, as well as competition from providers offering alternative products, which could negatively impact our results of operations and cause our market share to decline.

If we fail to enhance our brand, our ability to expand our customer base will be impaired and our operating results may suffer.

Our financial results often vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, which may lead to volatility in our stock price.
