GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO) is an interesting story. The camera maker is loved by many consumers who enjoy filming themselves doing all sorts of activity. While loved by consumers, its stock has not been loved by investors because it lost 85% of its value in one year. What happened to GoPro?
This article explains that GoPro has actually matured much quicker than expected. The stock rose to nosebleed valuations as there were very high expectations that above-average growth would span many years. The maturity of its business led to a deserved stock price correction that brought the expectations back to earth. However, GoPro is characterized for its innovation. If GoPro can manage to capture the consumer's attention with a new product, then high growth phase can start again.
GoPro has reached a degree of maturity
As we know today, GoPro's main business comes from selling cameras to consumers. GoPro has two methods of reaching the consumer: 1) to directly sell to the consumer through their online stores, and 2) to sell to distributors and let distributors sell to the consumer. Through both methods of selling, GoPro has grown fast. It has sold almost 20 million cameras since 2010. Camera sales continued to grow last year, but the rate of growth is slowing down. This slowdown is normal for any business - super-fast growth rates can't be achieved as the business becomes large.
The slowdown in growth rate gives one important signal to shareholders, which is that the business is maturing. In 2016, GoPro will attempt to sell cameras to two categories of consumers: 1) the consumers who already own a GoPro and would like to upgrade to the newest version, and 2) the consumer who has never owned a GoPro and would like to have one. Given this kind of maturity in the business, I expect GoPro to continue growing but at a much slower pace. Considering the market size for GoPro cameras and the global reach that GoPro created with its distribution network, it is possible to have recurring sales of 7-8 million cameras for the next couple years.
Management implies the maturity of GoPro
In the latest earnings call, management guided for revenues to be slightly lower than 2015 revenues. It appears that GoPro executives are trying to manage expectations with that kind of guidance, which means that management is striving to under-promise and over-deliver. In my view, management is setting expectations to be low enough so that a beat in revenues is more likely to happen. More importantly, the conservative guidance does give an important signal to the market: GoPro is maturing. If it wasn't so, then management wouldn't need to manage expectations.
The chart below shows what GoPro's revenues look like for the past five years. The green bar represents guidance of $1.5 BN of sales in FY 2016. On a Y/Y basis, revenues continued to increase in 2015. However, on a quarterly basis, revenues in Q4-2015 were 30% lower than Q4-2014. At the high end of guidance, revenues are going to decline by 7% next year. Note the slowdown in revenue growth.
These kind of growth rates are seen in mature companies. Perhaps GoPro will perform better than management guidance. I believe there is high popularity and wide acceptance for GoPro's cameras, so it is possible to sell 7-8 million cameras next year and beat guidance. However, it would be naïve to expect revenue growth higher than 25% only on selling cameras. It appears that a range of low double-digit to mid-teens growth is a reasonably optimistic expectation.
If GoPro is a mature company, did it deserve to lose so much market value?
The short answer is yes, it did deserve to lose that much market value. As a mature company, GoPro should be trading at low price multiples. The market cap (and price multiples) of GoPro went excessively high when it reached over $8 BN. The expectations to support such a valuation were simply too high. It appears that the market didn't see GoPro as a mature company or didn't expect GoPro to mature so quickly. As a result of the changes in expectations, the price collapsed from an all-time high of $90 to $10.
Such a correction was deserved because the product line of GoPro reached maturity more quickly than expected. As long as GoPro relies only on different versions of its flagship cameras (HERO4, HERO+, etc.) then the business is not expected to continue its super-fast growth phase. GoPro software and social media initiatives are simply a method of maintaining the brand advantage. It is unlikely that software alone is going to bring sales growth back to previously seen levels. The software strategy plays an important role in GoPro's business as brand image is essential to generate recurring sales.
On the other hand, GoPro management continues to innovate with new products. There has been announcements that a drone product will be available in 2016: The GoPro Karma. If such a drone is a game changer, which will require extreme engineering audacity coupled with user friendly features, then GoPro can become a fast-growth company again.
In addition to the drone idea, GoPro is active in the virtual reality scene. The recent acquisition of virtual reality startup Kolor is an attempt to continue the innovation cycle. GoPro has the potential to create new products and trends in virtual reality. As of this writing, there is no meaningful advances on the virtual reality scene. But this is something where GoPro might be able to come up with a new "trendy" product.
GoPro is both a cyclical and seasonal company. It's cyclical because it relies on "trendy" products to have boom revenue cycles. Therefore, a new product line can cause another boom cycle in GoPro. It's also seasonal because most of their revenues are generated in high shopping seasons, such as Christmas.
As of today, the upgrade of the current product line (the HERO4, HERO+, etc) is essential for GoPro to both maintain the trend and generate sustainable revenues. Revenues from recurring customers who are looking to have the latest version of the GoPro is an important component to the top line. The other important component is to get consumers excited about the product so they become first-time buyers. The customers are there for GoPro, but the penetration has reached a decent level where GoPro should be considered a mature company. This assertion is evidenced by the general slowdown of unit and dollar sales.
GoPro has value, but more operating performance would determine the riskiness of a long-term position
After the collapse of the stock price, GoPro trades at a market cap of $1.3 BN. Its current P/E remains high for a company with slow growth, but its sales and book value multiples are pretty low. At the highest end of guidance, GoPro trades at a P/S of 0.9 and P/B of 1.8. Those multiples would be very low for a high-growth company, but they are appropriate for GoPro at the moment. If GoPro can prove the market that its operating performance will remain strong over the next couple of years, then those multiples would indicate that GoPro is (at least) fairly valued.
GoPro has generated profits and positive cash flows in both 2014 and 2015. Although net income declined Y/Y, free cash flows didn't decline. It is always good for a company to generate positive free cash flows as this metric dictates the intrinsic value of the stock. GoPro generated $100 million of free cash flows and trades at a P/FCF of 13x. In addition to the low multiples, roughly 35% of the market cap is backed by liquid capital, including cash and marketable securities (without considering the buyback program). This provides a cushion of safety.
Once again, if GoPro can show the market that its operating performance will remain strong and sustainable, then it appears that GoPro will add value to shareholders in the long run. If GoPro's operating performance is simply a "fad," and is not sustainable, then GoPro shares would be in huge trouble. Given my view of the market for GoPro products, and the ratings that GoPro cameras receive among consumers, a range of 7-8 million camera sales per year is sustainable in the long-run. As long as GoPro can operate cash flow positive at that level, then GoPro's business has a chance at increasing in value over the long run. GoPro is cyclical, so there would be some years where sales are below the sustainable rate and other years where sales are above its sustainable rate.
On the optimistic side, if GoPro can truly come up with a game changer drone or virtual reality product, then the company should be viewed differently.
A thought on the stock buyback program
For one thing, the stock buyback program provides an affirmation that GoPro has reached a certain level of maturity. Generally speaking, fast-growing companies do not engage in stock buyback programs as they need to retain all capital to finance future growth. However, mature companies tend to engage in share buybacks programs. Think about Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) which are mature companies with constant buyback programs.
On the other hand, the approval of $300 MM to repurchase shares signal there aren't any big projects that GoPro is investing in. The share repurchase was probably an attempt to stop the market selling, which didn't work. The important thing is that GoPro could have used such capital for product innovation or other acquisitions. Only $35 MM has been used on the repurchase program, and that should be it. I'd prefer to see high cash balances than constant share buybacks.
A thought on other Seeking Alpha writers
Author Ravi Bala wrote an interesting article on GoPro. His opinion that more public history is needed to determine the investment merits of GoPro is consistent with my views that GoPro is a highly cyclical company. A full business cycle would enlighten investors with more history to determine the merits of GoPro's business.
Top author Bill Maurer wrote an insightful article about the price support of GoPro and the recent developments. His opinion that GoPro's buyback program coupled with the high amount of shares sold short can provide support to the $10 stock price. Unless GoPro is grossly out-competed by other tech players, the stock might have found a bottom.
Investor takeaway
The overwhelming takeaway is that GoPro's business matured more quickly than expected, which led to an enormous price correction. The price correction was deserved, as the business growth prospects were reassessed by the market. However, the price multiples valuation of GoPro indicates that it currently trades at fair values.
The fair value of $10 for GPRO is supported by the ability to sell 7-8 million cameras per year. In order to do that, GoPro will really need to charm their customers with awesome products, software and social media. This way, customers would want to upgrade to the newest GoPro version. In addition to recurring customers, there is always new people to reach out to in a big world. The takeaway here is that investors shouldn't expect much more than the current 6.6 million cameras per year sales. In short, GoPro has matured.
Only outstanding new products would make GoPro a fast-growing company again. For the camera selling business, the $10 per share appears appropriate provided that the product is not a "fad." What do we need to know it is not a fad? We need more time and operating history. GoPro is an interesting story. It is a good stock to watch and proceed cautiously.
Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

American Diaspora(2001)
Poetry of Displacement
A collection of poems by Ryan G Van Cleave
Diaspora constitutes a powerful descriptor for the modern condition of the contemporary poet, the spokesperson for the psyche of America. The poems in American Diaspora; Poetry of Displacement focus on the struggles and pleasures of creating a home-physical and mental-out of displacement, exile, migration, and alienation. To fully explore the concept of diaspora, the editors have broadened the scope of their definition to include not only the physical act of moving and immigration but also the spiritual and emotional dislocations that can occur-as for Emily Dickinson and other poets - even in a life spent entirely in one location. More than one hundred and thirty contemporary poets reflect and mediate, rage and bless, as they tell their own stories. In short, this is an anthology of American poetry that draws upon the sensitivity, tenderness, rebelliousness, patience, and spirituality that point to the future of our nation.

I know it's a cop out, but Mariam and I have had trouble coordinating trips to interview people. In the meantime, I'd like to share some more musings on meeting strangers.
Public transportation is notorious for it's surprises. As the train pulls up to the station, the windows reveal a glimpse of the adventures that lie in wait for your ride. You may run into a car of frumpy commuters, a group of bright-eyed kids on a travel abroad trip, a half-asleep hobo, and everything in between. Sitting on the train that cuts straight across the city, you can't help but see people who live lives that as polar opposites of yours. Things that you may think you have in common can be regarded so differently compared to how you hold it.
I realized that most people have trouble accepting themselves. Aside from being okay with your own identity, people even have trouble defining themselves. While you're riding the train, you can see people who look like they've been awake for 3 days besides people who look like they stepped out of a glossy magazine ad. You can't help but judge, even though you only can see the tiniest slice of a particular person's life. Inevitably, when you judge, you're comparing those people against some reflection of personal values and indirectly even yourself.
How do you define yourself when you're comparing the highlights of everyone's lives to your lowest points. That's just irrational. If you're going to compare, match up highlights to highlights, and bloopers to bloopers. Even then, I believe, you're not competing in life. It's not a race. When you think of people as complete humans rather than standards to compare yourself to, it becomes natural that you help people and you get helped. You become the best "you" that you can be, and help the people around you become better.
What do you think? Have you ever judged someone from a tiny glimpse only to realize that you're missing the big picture and completely misjudged them?

Scratch beneath the surface of our city and you'll find some real hidden gems. So we have set out to explore the best-kept secrets and unsung heroes of Birmingham. This week, Julie ventures to the buzzing John Bright Street to explore The Victoria...
The Victoria at John Bright Street looks from the outside very traditional and every inch a classic British pub. The beautiful victorian architecture hides a massive secret. Inside this classic British pub is completely crazy and in keeping with British eccentricity it is loveablely crazy in a wonderful way.
We accompanied our meals with some of the Victorias lovely cocktails. The Victoria is part of the Bitters&Twisted chain of pubs and Bitters & Twisted do do a fine cocktail. Starting with one of the cutest cocktail menus I know of (it looks like an old pelican book)I plumped for a Dark & Stormy, served tall and over ice this delicious rum based drink with a good dash of lime is a perfect summers day drink and it certainly hit the spot for me on one of the sunniest days of this summer. A tall glass of cloudy apple juice for one companion and a passion fruit based cocktail Apple & Passionfruit Daiquiri. Strong in both flavour and fragrance , served in an old fashioned champagne saucer and garnished with half a Passionfruit this daiquiri is very feminine and moreish.
Located less than 60 seconds.walk from New Street train station if you exit via the John Lewis side The Victoria is suprisingly quiet during the daytimes and is usually very busy in the evenings, to the point of 'standing room only' on my previous visits.
But for this visit it was empty, OK we were the first customers of the day and a group of office workers did arrive for lunch as we were on the verge of leaving, so The Victoria is a great choice if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city without having to move very far from the centre of Birmingham. Being for a while the only customers the background music was welcomed by us.
For our early lunch we decided to try the Victorias famous and delicious pizzas. Hand made on site these lovely,thin and crispy pizzas are very reminiscent of some fresh home made pizzas I had in Italy, so very authentic and unadulterated. The Vickys Margaritta pizza is cheese,tomato and a drizzle of fresh pesto. Served super fast considering it is made to order, our lovely pizzas were on our table within less than 15 minutes of us placing our order. We also tried a Auntie Pasty pizza, which was cheese, tomato, pepperoni, chorizo, ham, capers and dressed with a few rocket leaves. Yet another great example of how a good pizza should be. A serving of sweet potato fries and coleslaw on the table for us to share made for a meal that was just a bit too big for the three of us. These are good sized pizzas that arrive to the table whole and with a pizza cutting wheel. The side of sweet potato fries seemed to be freshly cooked frozen chips and the red cabbage coleslaw may well have been home made on site as it was chunky and rustic. The only disappointment with the food was the serving container for both the fries and the coleslaw was a disposable foil container. Not very pretty but it took nothing away from our tasty meal.
Upstairs at The Victoria sees live entertainment, usually live music. Check out their website for full details of upcoming events, but live events upstairs are also accompanied by special offers on drinks too. Thus making for a great value night out in the heart of Birmingham. It's on live event nights that The Victoria is really busy and this gives a great atmosphere. As well as live music there is also a weekly quiz night, I have attended the quiz nights and have to say they are a lot of fun. Taking place in the rear of the pub in the cartoon and tattoo decorated back bar, this is the more eccentric area of this lovely pub. I did enquire as to whether the quiz nights were still on and unfortunately the member of staff I asked had no idea, luckily there is a poster up advertising them. So Tuesday nights is pub quiz night and it still costs £1.00 per person to enter. It was just disappointing that the staff do not seem fully aware of it.
Being part of the Bitters & Twisted chain of pubs you can get a loyalty card to use at The Victoria that is also valid at all the other Bitters & Twisted pubs in town. The Victoria also accepts Independent Birmingham cards, should you be a card holder you can get some deals.
Don't be put off by the scruffy exterior, this pub has loads of character and serves a splendid pizza. It also has a great atmosphere and is a perfect choice for a night out with a crowd of friends. The only thing I don't like is the somewhat overpowering smell of toilet cleaner, but at least the toilets are clean.
The Victoria serve a fantastic choice of real ales and ciders as well as the superb cocktail menu, it is a proper drinkers pub serving some unusual beers. If you're into your beers and ales you could do a whole lot worse than to pay The Victoria a visit. It is also the obvious choice for pre or post theatre drinks or a bite to eat if you are visiting the The New Alexander Theatre.

OTTAWA – The federal government and Quebec are closing in on a deal to compensate the province for harmonizing its sales tax a decade ago, The Canadian Press has learned.
Such an agreement, that would potentially send billions of dollars to Quebec, could help keep Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government afloat longer.
That's because the Bloc Quebecois would be hard pressed to vote down the next federal budget if it included HST funding for Quebec — something Quebec politicians have spent years lobbying for.
Sources say talks have been picking up steam. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty had dinner with his Quebec counterpart, Raymond Bachand, this week and the issue was discussed.
When asked whether the talks were coming to a head, Flaherty would only say they are progressing.
"I had a further discussion with Minister Bachand this week and I think we made some progress," Flaherty said Thursday. "We're not near completion, but we've made some more progress which is good."
Catherine Poulin, a spokeswoman for Bachand, said she couldn't go into detail about the talks.
"Discussions continue, the ministers are talking, but it's not over… We're not ready to make an announcement yet."
The deal could also help take the pressure off Harper to fork over money for a new Quebec City hockey arena — something even the city's Bonhomme Carnaval jokingly raised with Harper during a photo-op Thursday on Parliament Hill.
The federal government gave Ontario $4.3 billion and British Columbia $1.6 billion to help their transitions to a harmonized sales tax this year.
Quebec has demanded up to $2.6 billion in compensation for harmonizing its sales taxes in the 1990s. But Ottawa has argued that the taxes were never fully harmonized, with Quebec operating an independent tax system.
A deal would see Ottawa collect the taxes and send Quebec back its share, instead of the other way around.
Harmonizing the taxes proved to be a politically costly exercise for the B.C. government, which is still feeling the public's wrath over the change. Premier Gordon Campbell announced his resignation earlier this month in the wake of the controversy and internal caucus dissent.
The federal NDP have vowed to make it an issue in the next election, in B.C. and in Ontario, where the public reaction has been more muted.
The Conservative government, meanwhile, has not felt any of the HST backlash.

GameCube listings on Nintendo website: innocent mistake or glimpse of what's to come?
Last week, four incomplete GameCube listings appeared on the Nintendo website. The listings triggered speculation in the gaming community that Nintendo is to launch a Virtual Console for the Switch. The Virtual Console would work in the same way it did for the Nintendo Wii, providing an online shop for players to buy retro Nintendo games, such as classic Super Mario editions.
The games that briefly showed up on Nintendo's website were:
- Tony Hawk's Underground 2
- Doshin the Giant
- Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut
- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The randomness of these games has led many to conclude their appearance was down to human error. Indeed, the date field wasn't filled in for any of the games, with all listed as 'to be decided' (TBD). It suggests a mistake by a Nintendo employee who simply forgot about the pages while entering other information.
However, the idea of a Switch VC isn't an unrealistic one. When the Switch came out, Nintendo announced that 'Virtual Console games would not be available on Nintendo Switch at time of launch." That's a pretty open statement that any PR manager will tell you purposefully leaves rooms for interpretation. Almost as though Nintendo wants to fuel interest in the retro gaming service.
There's little doubt a VC for the Switch would be well received. Nintendo's tight-lipped stance on its revival, as well as the failure to clarify when or if players will be able to transfer old VC purchases, is frustrating. Plus, who wouldn't want to play old favourites like Mario Kart on-the-go?!
Either way, don't expect to see a Switch VC before 2018. Last week's game listing is most likely a red herring, as you'd expect Nintendo to prioritise some popular classics over The Chronicles of Narnia (sorry CS Lewis fans). For the time being, speculation will continue as Nintendo refuses to define how it'll handle legacy content moving forwards.
For more details about the Nintendo Switch, see our comparison post: Comparing the Nintendo Switch and the XBox One

Portugal day(s)
So after the national day, there was the day the team started the World Cup (with a 1-0 win over Angola). I'm surprised (but glad) that it was such a peaceful game. However, I had my heart on my sleeve the whole time, always with a feeling that the 1-0 would give place to a tragedy - a draw or maybe even a defeat!
We started really well and it would have been beautiful to get that goal at only 18 seconds...but it wasn't meant to be. We should have scored at least another goal in the first half, so I wouldn't have to suffer so much. But, in a way, I'm happy it turned out like this because the nerves are essential in a football match. :) And I wish Angola good luck from now on. They deserve it.

It was a good game...I would have prefered 2 to Portugal and 1 for Angola...they deserved a goal, I thought (but I want the points for Portugal!) What's your feeling/prediction about the Iran and Mexico games?

Jackt: hehe I hope so too! Don't be frightened by the US result, I'm sure they can do a lot better than that...
Maddy: I try to be a good sport. Thanks!
Kimananda: Yes, 2-1 would be more accurate perhaps. I think Iran are better than Angola, they score a lot of goals so it should be difficult. And Mexico are really good, despite not having many "stars", they're the 4th best team in the world according to Fifa...

Baby Bananas
Bananas like lots of water and fertile soil so these guys are in a pretty good spot. They benefit from the pig pen nutrients and get watered daily as I water my tomatoes, squash, and peppers. This morning, there's a thunderstorm with rain happening, so I get to skip the watering today...finally!
I eat bananas almost every day...such a convenient food.
Jr. loves 'em in 'nanner puddin', but I prefer them fresh best. Of course, dipped in your favorite yogurt, smothered in ice cream, sliced on cereal, and mixed into a peanut butter sandwich come to mind also.
Oh...and banana burgers. Those are good too.

Is a banana burger some kind of cooked banana concoction us Cannucks wouldn't be privy to? And if so, can you explain it?
Otherwise, I don't know what that means, but I do know that I prefer my bananas covered in ice-cream, or better yet dipped in chocolate and then frozen. YUM!

They bear on the second year if they can get past the frosts of the first year. That's always a gamble on the edge of the tropics where I live.
Mrs. S,
I was hoping someone would ask. It's just a snack, take two vanilla wafers and place a nice thick slice of banana between them. It looks like a little banana burger and tastes great!

Anonymous Georgian,
Check out TyTy Nursery in TyTy, GA. Great place, great online catalog and all southern plants. They have cold hardy nanners.

You have a banana plant, and we have a banana plant. And that's the extent of the similarities. Yours will produce delicious bananas for your cereal and burgers. Ours will be a full-leafed plant in our sun room. I doubt it will ever produce a single fruit. It is a pretty thing, though.
I am using my real first and middle name, I am the blogger formerly known as Rexroth's Daughter.

Curses - now I am craving a banana burger and I have none of the necessary ingredients - I shouldn't have checked back in the comments for an answer until tomorrow when the grocery store is open again lol
Thanks for the info, though - sounds like a nice (fairly) healthy snack to add to my list.

I grew up in Queensland. Queenslanders are known as BananaBenders, as bananas grow very well there, and someone has to put the bend in the banana. West Australians are SandGropers, South Australians are CrowEaters. Victorians are Mexicans, as they are south of the border of New South Wales and Tasmanians have Two Heads. But, I digress.
I just have to tell the story of Stan Tappenden who, at 11 years of age invented a pair of shoes for climbing banana trees. He put a dozen three inch nails through each of the bottom of a pair of shoes and took a running jump at a banana tree. He made it about 4 foot up the tree before the nails cut the tree to mush and Stan fell to the ground.
His next trick was to pick up a boomerang and decapitate the tree.
He was a one-off was Stan.

Plain bananas - but banana pudding is my craving - made with half and half, instant banana pudding and of course the really good Nilla Wafers. OK so now I am hungy and not a banana in the house - guess I will have to settle for a mango.

Love the name change...much more musical than RD. Even my bananas will be challenged to bear fruit...even a single hard freeze can zap em.
Mrs. S,
Gotta be better for us than a real burger :)
So...the bend in the banana is an Australian invention? That and Vegamite.
Nobody "settles" for a mango...lucky you!

1. Who are you and what's the name of your blog?
My name is Jason Bornstein, and under the name 'DyHrdMET', I run the blog "RememberingShea" (http://RememberingShea.
My name is Jason Bornstein, and under the name 'DyHrdMET', I run the blog "RememberingShea" (http://RememberingShea.
2. What kind of things can we find on your site?
Initially, the focus was on the end of Shea. I launched the site during Shea's destruction in the 2008-09 off season. Since there isn't much going on with Shea these days, I cover humor, finding fault in Citi Field, and some opinions on the failures of the Mets. If given the chance, I'll share my opinions on the success of the Mets as well. I'm also a Spring Training fanatic, so there should be lots of content including a daily blog while I'm on my trip to Port St. Lucie (and other parts of Florida) in late March.
I also have a sound byte from Bob Murphy available on every page.
3. Expectations for 2010?
We'll get through the season alive (physically). Mentally, I'm not sure. At this point in time, I think the Mets aren't much better than the glorified .500 team of 2008. But a glorified .500 team could squeeze into the playoffs. For me, I hope work allows me more time to write on a more regular basis once there's daily activity around the Mets (like the Jason Bay soap opera wasn't daily activity). Blogging is a good outlet to vent frustration (so is commenting on other people's blogs), and if the Mets start off 2010 like they ended 2009, there will be lots of venting going on.

Few days after making his 200th appearance in the English Premier League, Victor Moses is set for a new milestone; this time with his London club, Chelsea, fcnaija reports.
As already stated by Chelsea manager Antonio Conte Moses is available for Saturday's Premier League clash against Southampton.
If the Nigeran star gets playing time against the Saints, it will be his 100th career appearance for Chelsea in all competitions.
If the Super Eagles star is named in the starting line-up by the Italian manager, it would be his 50th Premier League start for the Blues, the club have confirmed.
Asked at Friday's press conference if there were injury concerns ahead of the visit of Southampton, Conte answered: "No, all my players are available."
In his debut season at Chelsea, Moses played 12 matches from the start, he was included in the starting XI twenty-nine times over the course of the 2016-2017 campaign ,
and has eight starts under his belt this term.
The right wing-back made his 200th career Premier League appearance at Huddersfield on his 27th birthday.
