Encouraged by significant business expansion efforts on the back of an optimistic outlook, robust demand for its services, along with diligent operational execution, is expected to drive Ooma’s financial results in the long run.

This internet phone service provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -46.2%. Revenues are expected to be $44.9 million, up 8.4% 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.
