Read MoreHide Full Article

Adma Biologics (ADMA - Free Report) shares rallied 18.8% in the last trading session to close at $19.37. 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 16.7% loss over the past four weeks.

ADMA Biologics announced that KPMG will now serve as the company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective upon the filing of its quarterly report for the fiscal quarter ended Sep. 30, 2024. Investors cheered the news. The stock was hit last month after the company noted that CohnReznick resigned as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

This infectious disease drug developer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +1200%. Revenues are expected to be $107.25 million, up 59.4% 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 Adma Biologics, 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. So, make sure to keep an eye on ADMA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
