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 30.4% gain over the past four weeks.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment has been consistently growing its library and content pipeline.

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 Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., 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 CSSE going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
