Read MoreHide Full Article
Oportun Financial Corporation (OPRT - Free Report) shares soared 11.8% in the last trading session to close at $9.22. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 25.6% loss over the past four weeks.
The performance of financial service providers is expected to have improved in the second quarter given the higher interest rates and rise in demand for consumer loans. Investors are also bullish on the finance sector on expectations of further interest rate hikes this year. This possibly led to the optimistic stance by the investors, which drove Oportun Financial higher.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -82.1%. Revenues are expected to be $217.83 million, up 57.5% 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 Oportun Financial Corporation, 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 OPRT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
