Read MoreHide Full Article

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT - Free Report) shares soared 6.4% in the last trading session to close at $7.13. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 3.9% gain over the past four weeks.

The Federal Reserve has ended the current rate hike cycle by keeping interest rates unchanged at the 22-year high of 5.25-5.5%. The central bank has also indicated a 75 basis points cut in rates by 2024-end. The above-mentioned developments have attributed to bullish investor sentiments. Given the fall in rates, the higher funding costs being faced by finance firms will likely come down somewhat next year, thus supporting margin growth. This probably drove the WT stock higher in last day’s trading session.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +150%. Revenues are expected to be $89.12 million, up 21.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For WisdomTree, Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on WT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
