The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to the positive sentiments within operations real estate amid favorable industry fundamentals.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.19 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -9.5%. Revenues are expected to be $2.37 billion, up 3.8% 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 Cushman & Wakefield, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.9% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation.
