Sanmina (SANM) shares soared 22.7% in the last trading session to close at $140. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 5.7% loss over the past four weeks.
Sanmina offers end-to-end solutions with a vertically integrated manufacturing process. In-house management of all components from the initial phase to the final product ensures flexibility and responsiveness in operations. This streamlines processes and lowers costs, enabling it to achieve greater economies of scale. It significantly accelerates time to market and time to volume production.
The company also prioritizes expanding into high-growth industries backed by its strong global network, deep expertise and unique value proposition in advanced electronics manufacturing. Attracting and developing strong customer relationships by delivering high-level customer service is one of the key strategies to drive commercial expansion.
This electronics manufacturing services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.57 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +9.8%. Revenues are expected to be $2.05 billion, up 1.6% 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 Sanmina, 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 SANM going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
