Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) shares ended the last trading session 6.5% higher at $5.93. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 2.8% loss over the past four weeks.
The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to the bullish sentiments from analysts.
This company is expected to post quarterly FFO of $0.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +115.4%. Revenues are expected to be $112.39 million, up 1.7% from the year-ago quarter.
FFO and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in FFO estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, the consensus FFO per share 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 FFO estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on ILPT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
