Strength Seen in Airgain (AIRG): Can Its 18.9% Jump Turn into More Strength? (Revised)

Read MoreHide Full Article

Airgain (AIRG - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 18.9% higher at $8.32. 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 13.3% loss over the past four weeks.

The surge was fueled by increased investor optimism following the company’s announcement that a leading U.S.-based water utility company has selected AirgainConnect AC-HPUE to improve the connectivity of its fleet. With up to 10 times the power and four times the coverage of a traditional router-mounted antenna, the utility plans to equip its 3,000 plus vehicle fleet with the roof-mounted antenna modem to enable optimum connectivity, even in the most remote areas. The multi-million dollar contract for the AirgainConnect devices will be deployed through the end of the year.

This antenna products developer is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -466.7%. Revenues are expected to be $17.31 million, down 0.4% 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.

For Airgain, 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 AIRG going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
