First Data (FDC) Looks Good: Stock Adds 9.3% in Session
First Data Corporation was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 9% on the day. The uptrend was driven by the company’s announcement of encouraging earnings results before the market opened. This resulted in solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $13.17 to $14.20 in the past one-month time frame.
The company has seen a mixed track record when it comes to estimate revisions of two increases and one decrease over the past one month, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the same time frame. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
First Data currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
