Read MoreHide Full Article

Essent Group Ltd. (ESNT - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise above 5% on the day. The upside was driven by the company’s announcement of better-than-expected second-quarter 2016 results. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $21.20 to $24.27 in the past one-month time frame.

In the last 30 days, the company has seen no estimate revision and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
