Read MoreHide Full Article

Wynn Resorts (WYNN - Free Report) shares soared 14.7% in the last trading session to close at $75.83. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 24.4% loss over the past four weeks.

Following President Trump's announcement to suspend U.S. tariffs on most countries for 90 days, Wynn Resorts shares soared, reflecting renewed investor optimism.

 

This casino operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.26 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -20.8%. Revenues are expected to be $1.75 billion, down 6.2% 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 Wynn, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.4% 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 WYNN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
