Read MoreHide Full Article

Electrovaya Inc. (ELVA - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 49.1% higher at $11.76. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 17.6% loss over the past four weeks.

The optimism surrounding the stock can be attributed to Electrovaya entering into a commercial agreement with Amazon to supply its Infinity Battery Technology for material handling operations. Further, Amazon received warrants that will vest based on up to $280 million in cumulative future purchases, highlighting the potential for a long-term commercial relationship and supporting investor confidence in Electrovaya’s growth outlook.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +50%. Revenues are expected to be $21.51 million, up 25.5% 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 Electrovaya Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on ELVA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
