PRM’s gain appears to reflect favorable industry trends that are expected to continue to drive demand for fire retardant products. Multi-year fire safety contracts materially improve revenue and earnings durability. The company’s Specialty Products segment is also seeing growth aided by recent acquisitions.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Perimeter Solutions, SA, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on PRM going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
