Read MoreHide Full Article

Polaris Inc (PII - Free Report) shares soared 14.7% in the last trading session to close at $36.68. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 28% loss over the past four weeks.

Polaris stock surged yesterday amid a broader market rebound following Trump’s 90-day pause in reciprocal tariffs on most countries (except China). The move came in response to steep market declines and growing fears that tariff increases could push the economy into a recession.

This snowmobile and ATV maker is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.92 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -500%. Revenues are expected to be $1.54 billion, down 11.1% 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 Polaris Inc, 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 PII going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
