Tango Therapeutics, Inc. (TNGX - Free Report) shares soared 6.7% in the last trading session to close at $9.89. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 8.2% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock rallied as optimism grew over the company’s promising set of pipeline candidates, which are being developed as the next generation of precision medicines for the treatment of cancer. Several clinical milestones are expected later in 2024.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.34 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -47.8%. Revenues are expected to be $7.39 million, down 49.4% 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 Tango Therapeutics, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on TNGX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
