PDD Holdings Inc. (PDD - Free Report) shares rallied 10.5% in the last trading session to close at $137.54. 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 4.2% gain over the past four weeks.

Pinduoduo extended its rally, driven by a strong momentum across its online marketing and transaction services. The company’s continuous efforts to strengthen the agriculture and grocery businesses remain noteworthy. Strengthening partnerships with local communities, shops, farmers and agri-merchants are a plus.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.60 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +58.4%. Revenues are expected to be $10.42 billion, up 90.1% 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.

And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
