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 Sleep Number, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.5% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
