Amdocs DOX shares ended the last trading session 6% higher at $85.32. 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 9.4% loss over the past four weeks.

The upswing was likely driven by a broader market rally following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of pausing the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days. However, a baseline tariff of 10% on imports would continue to apply.

This provider of computer systems integration is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.71 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +9.6%. Revenues are expected to be $1.12 billion, down 9.8% 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 Amdocs, 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 DOX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
