Read MoreHide Full Article

JAKKS Pacific (JAKK - Free Report) shares rallied 10.1% in the last trading session to close at $11.17. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 13.5% gain over the past four weeks.

Shares of the JAKKS Pacific appreciated for the second consecutive day after the company said that it completed the successful refinancing of its prevailing term-loan facility with a new term-loan facility from Benefit Street Partners LLC.

This toymaker is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.66 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +62.1%. Revenues are expected to be $91.9 million, up 16.7% 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 JAKKS, 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 JAKK going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
