Revenues of $98.8 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.6%. The top line increased 18% on a year-over-year basis and 6% sequentially.

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 Descartes Systems, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation.
