Upstart (UPST) Moves 15.0% Higher: Will This Strength Last?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Upstart Holdings, Inc. (UPST - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 15% higher at $54.07. 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 23.6% gain over the past four weeks.
The optimism surrounding the stock can be attributed to Upstart’s growing partner network. The company’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based lending platform has been selected by several banks and credit unions, which is contributing well to the top line. Investors seem to be also very optimistic about recent launches across Upstart’s product portfolio powered by generative AI and machine learning, which might favor the company’s performance in the long run.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.14 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -180%. Revenues are expected to be $150.14 million, up 11.6% 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 Upstart, 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 UPST going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Upstart belongs to the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry. Another stock from the same industry, PRA Group (PRAA - Free Report) , closed the last trading session 1.9% lower at $20.99. Over the past month, PRAA has returned -1.3%.
PRA Group's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.34. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +209.7%. PRA Group currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
