Read MoreHide Full Article

Vornado (VNO - Free Report) shares rallied 10.3% in the last trading session to close at $35.01. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 12.8% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to President Donald Trump’s recent announcement to put a 90-day pause on the reciprocal tariff for most countries.

This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.52 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -5.5%. Revenues are expected to be $450.05 million, up 3.1% from the year-ago quarter.

While FFO and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in FFO per share estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For Vornado, the consensus FFO per share estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in FFO per share estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on VNO going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
