Read MoreHide Full Article

Fox Factory Holding (FOXF - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 7.1% higher at $84.64. 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 0% gain over the past four weeks.

While there is no company-specific news that triggered Friday’s share price appreciation, the upsurge can be attributed to increasing demand for off-road vehicles amid the growing preference of the youth toward adventure. Sustained demand growth across the powersports industry and outdoor recreation combined with FOXF’s robust backlog and innovative product pipeline are set to boost the firm's run on the bourses, going forward. As such, the company lifted its full-year 2022 sales and profit projections on its last earnings call. It now envisions 2022 revenues and EPS in the band of $1.5-$1.53 billion and $5-$5.30, respectively.

This vehicle suspension maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.22 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1.7%. Revenues are expected to be $399.48 million, up 21.7% 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 Fox Factory Holding, 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.
