Finisar Corporation was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 6% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, trading within a volatile range of $14.70–$20.40 in the past one-month time frame, showed a sharp increase yesterday.

The upside was driven after an analyst upgraded the rating of the stock.

The company has seen six negative estimate revisions in the past month, while its Zacks Consensus Estimate has also moved lower over the said time period, suggesting there may be trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward, to see if this recent move higher can last.

Finisar currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.

With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.

It's not the one you think.
