Last week, the company reported robust pipeline and business outlook for 2023. This might have been driving the share price rally.

For Fulcrum Therapeutics, Inc., 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.
