Genomic Health, 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 too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent trend for the company—as the stock was down 4.5% in the past one-month time frame.

The move came after the company announced that it is likely to produce results from eight Oncotype DX studies at the 2017 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. The study will represent data across multiple types of tumor that includes invasive breast, ductal carcinoma in situ, prostate as well as renal cancers.

The company has seen five negative estimate revisions in the past one month, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate has also moved lower over the same time frame, suggesting there may be trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward, to see if this recent move higher can last.
