electroCore, Inc. (ECOR) shares soared 6% in the last trading session to close at $13.49. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock’s 61.1% gain over the past four weeks.
The recent rise in the stock price can be attributed to investors’ optimism about the financial performance of electroCore’s flagship product, gammaCore Sapphire, in the upcoming third-quarter 2024 results. The company also has two other products in its commercial portfolio, Truvaga products for general health and wellbeing support and TAC-STIM for human performance.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.29 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +57.4%. Revenues are expected to be $6.48 million, up 43.6% 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 electroCore, 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 ECOR going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
