Read MoreHide Full Article
Copa Holdings (CPA - Free Report) shares soared 7.4% in the last trading session to close at $89.26. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 12% loss over the past four weeks.
The stock gained following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day pause on most of the sweeping tariffs that were recently crushing stocks.
This holding company for Panama's national airline is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.78 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -9.8%. Revenues are expected to be $892.3 million, down 0.1% 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 Copa Holdings, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised marginally higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on CPA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
