Read MoreHide Full Article

Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 15% on the day. The move came after the company reported solid first-quarter 2017 results. This also led to 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 $26.16 to $28.60 in the past one-month time frame.

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

Currently, Computer Programs and Systems carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

A better-ranked stock in the same industry is Medidata Solutions, Inc. , carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
