Read MoreHide Full Article

Vacasa, Inc. (VCSA - Free Report) shares rallied 10.4% in the last trading session to close at $9.24. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 2.1% gain over the past four weeks.

The positive response from investors can be due to the multiyear partnership with Matterport, integrating their Digital Twin Platform into property onboarding and guest services. This collaboration enhances Vacasa's management of tens of thousands of rentals, streamlining the capture, documentation, and promotion process with immersive virtual tours and high-res photos through a single appointment.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $6.82 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -197.4%. Revenues are expected to be $176.03 million, down 19.3% 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 Vacasa, Inc., 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 VCSA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
