Strength Seen in MeiraGTx (MGTX): Can Its 6.2% Jump Turn into More Strength?
Read MoreHide Full Article
MeiraGTx Holdings PLC (MGTX - Free Report) shares soared 6.2% in the last trading session to close at $8.09. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 0.8% gain over the past four weeks.
Last week, the company announced robust financial results for the fourth quarter and full- year 2025. Simultaneously, MeiraGTx announced that the FDA has granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation to AAV2-hAQP1 for the treatment of grade 2 and grade 3 late xerostomia caused by radiotherapy for cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract. This might have driven the recent share price rally.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.62 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -21.6%. Revenues are expected to be $3.41 million, up 76.7% 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 MeiraGTx, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.6% 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 MGTX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
MeiraGTx is a member of the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry. One other stock in the same industry, CorMedix (CRMD - Free Report) , finished the last trading session 2.1% lower at $6.57. CRMD has returned -5.9% over the past month.
CorMedix's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed -38.5% over the past month to $0.46. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +53.3%. CorMedix currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell).
