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 0.3% gain over the past four weeks.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -173.7%. Revenues are expected to be $37.63 million, down 59.9% 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.
