LCI stock surged amid a broader market rebound following the Trump administration’s announcement of a temporary halt on reciprocal tariffs for most countries. The move came in response to steep market declines and growing fears that tariff increases could push the economy into a recession.

This recreational vehicle parts supplier is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.59 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.4%. Revenues are expected to be $967.78 million, down 0% 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 LCI, 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.
