Read MoreHide Full Article

Enviri (NVRI - Free Report) shares rallied 6.1% in the last trading session to close at $8.87. 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 1.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock is benefitting from the improved performances of Harsco Environmental and Clean Earth, driven by growth in services and eco-product volumes, coupled with increased pricing, and higher volumes and lower costs across the hazardous waste business.

This industrial services company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -200%. Revenues are expected to be $615.3 million, up 18.3% 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 Enviri, 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 NVRI going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
