Rogers Corp. (ROG - Free Report) shares rallied 10.7% in the last trading session to close at $152.99. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 12.3% gain over the past four weeks.

Rogers Corp. is benefiting from strong demand across its core markets, targeted high-growth opportunities, and deep customer relationships, which are expected to support revenue growth and margin expansion. The company is targeting revenues of $1.5 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26%, and adjusted EPS of $14 by 2030.

This specialty materials company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +33.3%. Revenues are expected to be $238 million, up 10.2% from the year-ago quarter.

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 Rogers Corp., 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 ROG going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
