Esab (ESAB) Soars 8.3%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Esab (ESAB - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 8.3% higher at $127.61. 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 1.2% gain over the past four weeks.
Shares of ESAB gained since the company announced that it has inked a definitive agreement to acquire a global leader in advanced inspection and monitoring technologies, Eddyfi Technologies. The deal is expected to expand ESAB’s addressable market by $5 billion. The move will boost the company’s presence in high-growth end markets such as Aerospace and Defense, Nuclear, Energy and Civil Infrastructure.
This maker of welding and cutting equipment is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.33 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +3.9%. Revenues are expected to be $687.7 million, up 8.6% 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 Esab, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised marginally lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on ESAB going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Esab is part of the Zacks Metal Products - Procurement and Fabrication industry. TriMas (TRS - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, closed the last trading session 0.3% higher at $35.04. TRS has returned -1.6% in the past month.
TriMas' consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.41. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of -4.7%. TriMas currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
