Read MoreHide Full Article

Stevanato Group (STVN - Free Report) shares rallied 10% in the last trading session to close at $27.95. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 0.6% gain over the past four weeks.

The sharp rise in Stevanato’s stock price likely reflects growing investor confidence in the company’s revenue outlook, particularly from its high-value solutions segment. Strong demand for high-value syringes, increased production capacity in Latina and Fishers, and a rebound in EZ-fill® vials as destocking trends ease have reinforced expectations of sustained top-line growth, fueling market optimism.

This maker of glass vials for COVID-19 vaccines is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10%. Revenues are expected to be $302.83 million, up 8.4% 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 Stevanato, 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 STVN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
