NTIC is expected to benefit from favorable demand in most global markets, efforts to improve profitability and investments in infrastructure to support demand in oil and gas and Natur-Tec businesses.
This rust and corrosion prevention company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.17 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +70%. Revenues are expected to be $21.2 million, up 16% 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 Northern Technologies International, 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.
