Read MoreHide Full Article

GasLog Partners LP shares soared 11% in the last trading session to close at $5.87. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 2.9% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock surged primarily on optimism surrounding the increased demand for LNG led by higher demand in Europe (thanks to lower pipeline supply from Russia amid the war) and South-East Asia.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +290%. Revenues are expected to be $81.66 million, up 16.1% 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 GasLog Partners LP, 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 GLOP going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
