Read MoreHide Full Article
Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (OSBC - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares nearly 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $12.50–$13.90 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase yesterday.
The move came after the company agreed to acquire Greater Chicago Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, ABC Bank, in an all cash transaction.
The company has seen no estimate revisions over the past few weeks and the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
Old Second Bancorp currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +18.8% from 2016 - Q1 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +157.0%, +128.0%, +97.8%, +94.7%, and +90.2% respectively.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - Q1 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 11X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
