Read MoreHide Full Article

Spire Global, Inc. (SPIR - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 28.1% higher at $10.44. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 19.7% gain over the past four weeks.

Spire Global recently joined forces with Signal Ocean to drive the digitization of the maritime economy by providing its unique, proprietary datasets that are relevant for precise monitoring of the maritime domain. This must have led to the latest uptick in SPIR’s share price.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +23.8%. Revenues are expected to be $29.23 million, up 30.6% 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 Spire Global, 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 SPIR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
