Read MoreHide Full Article
Veeco Instruments (VECO - Free Report) shares soared 8.8% in the last trading session to close at $34.39. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 10% gain over the past four weeks.
Veeco Instruments benefits mainly from AI-driven semiconductor demand, advanced packaging growth, memory expansion and next-gen technologies like EUV and HAMR.
This precision manufacturing equipment maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -46%. Revenues are expected to be $160 million, down 4.4% 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 Veeco, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 73.3% 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 VECO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
