Lovesac (LOVE - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 8.2% higher at $48.27. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 11.4% gain over the past four weeks.

The company has been banking on growth across all sales channels, backed by its recently launched Mobile Concierge service and unique business model with a concentrated sku count and manufacturing spread across multiple geographies.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -60.6%. Revenues are expected to be $175.56 million, up 35.4% 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 Lovesac, 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 LOVE going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
