Read MoreHide Full Article

The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 9% on Friday. The move came on solid volume too 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 $31.60 to $35.96 in the past one-month time frame.

The upside was driven after an activist hedge fund unveiled a huge share in the company.

The company has seen five negative estimate revisions in the past one month, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has also moved lower over the same time period, 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.
