Read MoreHide Full Article

Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (TRDA - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 5.6% higher at $6.64. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 11.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The sudden price rise can be attributed to growing investor optimism related to the company’s lead oligonucleotide programs that are being developed for the potential treatment of people living with Duchenne who are exon 44, 45, 50 and 51 skipping amenable.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.86 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -155.5%. Revenues are expected to be $8.87 million, down 90.6% 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 Entrada Therapeutics, 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 TRDA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
