Advanced Accelerator Applications S.A. was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 10% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent uptrend for the company—as the stock is now up 23.6% in the past one-month time frame.

The upside was driven by rumors of a potential buyout of the company by Novartis A.G. (NVS Quick QuoteNVS - Free Report) .

The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of no increase and decrease over the past few weeks, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter hasn’t been in a trend either. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
