JFrog is benefiting from an expanding clientele and strong growth in subscription revenues.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -400%. Revenues are expected to be $65.58 million, up 34.8% 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 JFrog Ltd., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation.
