Read MoreHide Full Article

Trinity Capital (TRIN - Free Report) shares rallied 6.6% in the last trading session to close at $14.65. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 4.4% gain over the past four weeks.

TRIN witnessed a rise in price for the second consecutive day. The Federal Reserve paused interest rate hikes last month, which has brought finance stocks in the spotlight. Investor sentiment is turning positive for the industry. Moreover, while consumer spending has been slowing, it is still stronger than what was expected if we headed straight into recession. These developments probably drove the TRIN stock higher in last day’s trading session.

This business development company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.55 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.6%. Revenues are expected to be $40.67 million, up 21.6% 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 Trinity Capital, 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 TRIN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
