Eneti shares soared 6.2% in the last trading session to close at $8.73. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 20.5% gain over the past four weeks.
The buoyancy is owing to the overall optimism surrounding the shipping industry. In fact, shares of NETI have gained 6.6% in a year's time.
This dry bulk ocean shipper is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.67 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +219.6%. Revenues are expected to be $63.79 million, up 85.7% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Eneti, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
