This maker of a cloud-based work-management platform is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.29 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +81.3%. Revenues are expected to be $274.06 million, up 16.3% 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 Smartsheet, 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.
