Immuneering Corporation (IMRX) Surges 18.5%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

CELU IMRX

Immuneering Corporation (IMRX - Free Report) shares soared 18.5% in the last trading session to close at $11.59. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 29.9% gain over the past four weeks.

The rise in Immuneering Corporation's stock price is attributable to positive investor sentiments on the company's pipeline development which is focused on developing a universal-RAS therapy targeting cancer indications. The company is evaluating its lead candidate IMM-1-104 in a phase I/IIa study in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring RAS mutations.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -10.2%. Revenues are expected to be $0.15 million, down 16.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Immuneering Corporation, 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. So, make sure to keep an eye on IMRX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
