Read MoreHide Full Article
Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY - Free Report) shares soared 8.3% in the last trading session to close at $33.36. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 30.1% loss over the past four weeks.
The sudden soaring of the stock price is likely due to the positive momentum built around Harmony's announcement on Wednesday. The company now expects to complete enrollment in the phase III INTUNE study of pitolisant, in the second quarter of 2023. In the study, pitolisant's safety and efficacy is being evaluated for the treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia in adults. Topline data from the study is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2023.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.44 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -13.7%. Revenues are expected to be $118.21 million, up 38.6% 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 Harmony Biosciences Holdings, 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. So, make sure to keep an eye on HRMY going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
