908 Devices Inc. MASS shares ended the last trading session 7% higher at $7.3. 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 13.3% gain over the past four weeks.
908 Devices witnessed a strong price rise on investors’ optimism surrounding its robust revenue growth in Q2. Additionally, the company strengthened its financial position by completing the previously announced restructuring efforts - cutting facility space by 44% and workforce by 39% year over year.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +52.2%. Revenues are expected to be $13.58 million, down 19% 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 908 Devices, 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 MASS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
