Read MoreHide Full Article

Offerpad Solutions Inc. (OPAD - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 6.6% higher at $9.43. 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 13.7% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased optimism in the stock can be attributed to its recent announcement of a new agent program, which marks a significant expansion of its current Agent Partnership Program.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.42 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +94.3%. Revenues are expected to be $256.6 million, down 62.1% 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 Offerpad Solutions Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on OPAD going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
