Read MoreHide Full Article
Vimeo, Inc. (VMEO - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 60.9% higher at $7.74. 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 25.9% gain over the past four weeks.
The stock recorded this price rise after the company announced that it entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bending Spoons, an Italian tech-conglomerate, for $1.4 billion.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -40%. Revenues are expected to be $106 million, up 1.4% 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 Vimeo, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 7.1% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on VMEO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
