Read MoreHide Full Article

Gastar Exploration Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $1.14 to $1.52 in the past one-month time frame.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised in the last 30 days, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Gastar Exploration carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

A better-ranked stock in the broader sector is Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. , carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
