Zacks
04-10

Jacobs Solutions J shares rallied 7% in the last trading session to close at $118.54. 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 9.3% loss over the past four weeks.

Following President Trump's announcement to suspend U.S. tariffs on most countries for 90 days, Jacobs  shares soared, reflecting renewed investor optimism.

This construction and technical services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.41 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -26.2%. Revenues are expected to be $3.02 billion, down 29.3% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For Jacobs Solutions, 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 J going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
