The Shyft Group (SHYF) shares rallied 15.1% in the last trading session to close at $8.82. 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 11.9% loss over the past four weeks.
The Shyft Group's stock surged amid a broader market rebound following the Trump administration’s announcement of a temporary halt on reciprocal tariffs for most countries. The move came in response to steep market declines and growing fears that tariff increases could push the economy into a recession.
This maker of chassis for Last Mile Delivery, RVs and other vehicles is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -150%. Revenues are expected to be $201.9 million, up 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 The Shyft Group, 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 SHYF going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
