Albemarle (ALB) Stock Jumps 19.1%: Will It Continue to Soar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Albemarle (ALB - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 19.1% higher at $60.47. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 30.2% loss over the past four weeks.
The rally in ALB was fueled by a broader rise in material stocks after President Trump paused reciprocal tariffs for most countries for 90 days.
This specialty chemicals company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.37 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -242.3%. Revenues are expected to be $1.2 billion, down 11.9% 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 Albemarle, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.3% 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 ALB going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Albemarle is part of the Zacks Chemical - Diversified industry. Cabot (CBT - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, closed the last trading session 8.1% higher at $80.89. CBT has returned -11.6% in the past month.
Cabot's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $1.86. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of +4.5%. Cabot currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
