Read MoreHide Full Article

Offerpad Solutions Inc. (OPAD - Free Report) shares rallied 29.9% in the last trading session to close at $5. 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 196.2% gain over the past four weeks.

The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to the company’s announcement this week to improve its HomePro program, which helps real estate agents work more efficiently. The rise was also because investors were hopeful that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.29 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +40.8%. Revenues are expected to be $139.05 million, down 33.2% 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 Offerpad Solutions, 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 OPAD going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
