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 Euronav NV, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 53.5% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation.
