The sudden price rise can be attributed to growing investor optimism regarding the company’s efforts to develop its lead pipeline candidate, varegacestat, which is currently in late-stage clinical studies for the treatment of desmoid tumors. Immunome is also developing other targeted therapies in early-stage studies for the treatment of various cancer indications.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.52 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -6.1%. Revenues are expected to be $2.47 million, up 4.5% 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 Immunome, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
