Banco Santander-Chile (BSAC - Free Report) shares soared 5% in the last trading session to close at $33.4. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 3.6% loss over the past four weeks.
Supported by a more constructive macro and earnings outlook for Chilean banks, the rating outlook for BSAC was upgraded by both JPMorgan and BofA Securities.

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 Banco Santander-Chile, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
