Read MoreHide Full Article
Wave Life Sciences (WVE - Free Report) shares soared 13.8% in the last trading session to close at $5.20. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 36% gain over the past four weeks.
Last month, the company announced a positive update from its ongoing phase Ib/IIa SELECT-HD study on its pipeline candidate, WVE-009 for treating Huntington’s disease. This might have been driving the share price rally.
This biopharmaceutical company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.48 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -300%. Revenues are expected to be $5.48 million, down 85% 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 Wave Life Sciences, 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 WVE going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Wave Life Sciences belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry. Another stock from the same industry, Clearside Biomedical, Inc. (CLSD - Free Report) , closed the last trading session 6.6% lower at $1.14. Over the past month, CLSD has returned -7.6%.
