Read MoreHide Full Article

NeoGenomics (NEO - Free Report) shares rallied 8.9% in the last trading session to close at $13.77. 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 3.3% loss over the past four weeks.

The sudden soaring of the stock price was observed after the company announced its third-quarter earnings date. This demonstrates the positive expectations of the investors regarding the financial performance of NeoGenomics when it reports its third-quarter results on Nov 6, 2023. 

This operator of cancer-focused testing laboratories is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.06 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +57.1%. Revenues are expected to be $142.13 million, up 10.4% 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 NeoGenomics, 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 NEO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
