Beazer (BZH) Soars 5.1%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Beazer Homes (BZH - Free Report) shares soared 5.1% in the last trading session to close at $30.76. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 2.7% gain over the past four weeks.
Beazer Homes has been benefiting from healthy demand characterized by sustained low levels of resale inventory and favorable demographic trends. Also, BZH’s three strategic pillars and long-term strategic business objectives bode well.
This homebuilder is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.84 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -32.3%. Revenues are expected to be $599.12 million, up 4.6% 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 Beazer, 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 BZH going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Beazer is a member of the Zacks Building Products - Home Builders industry. One other stock in the same industry, D.R. Horton (DHI - Free Report) , finished the last trading session 2.7% higher at $153.74. DHI has returned 4.4% over the past month.
For D.R. Horton, the consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed +0.1% over the past month to $3.80. This represents a change of -2.6% from what the company reported a year ago. D.R. Horton currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
