Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as its shares rose almost 20% on the day. The move came after the company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of its Auxiliary Power Unit business for $70 million.

Over the last 30 days, the company witnessed one positive and two negative estimate revisions while the Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved lower over the same time frame, suggesting there may be trouble down the road.
