Read MoreHide Full Article
PJT Partners (PJT - Free Report) shares soared 4.8% in the last trading session to close at $164.7. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 0.5% gain over the past four weeks.
PJT shares climbed yesterday as investors remained optimistic about the company's growth prospects. Sentiment was supported by the firm's strong position in restructuring and strategic advisory, where demand has remained healthy amid elevated refinancing needs and an active deal environment. Investors also appear encouraged by PJT's expanding advisory pipeline and its ability to win mandates across mergers and acquisitions, capital structure advisory and restructuring assignments.
This investment bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. Revenues are expected to be $423.9 million, up 4.2% 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 PJT Partners, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.9% 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 PJT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
