Read MoreHide Full Article

Kymera Therapeutics, Inc. (KYMR - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 14.3% higher at $15.51. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 31.7% loss over the past four weeks.

The surge in the stock price is likely to be an outcome of the positive momentum built around the company's pipeline. Its lead pipeline candidate, IRAK-4 is being developed in early-to-mid stage studies, to treat multiple autoimmune disorders.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +7.6%. Revenues are expected to be $20.98 million, up 119.7% 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 Kymera 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. So, make sure to keep an eye on KYMR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
