TG Therapeutics TGTX shares soared 10.2% in the last trading session to close at $40.84. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 20.6% gain over the past four weeks.
This rise in share price is likely due to positive investor sentiments around TG Therapeutics’ sole marketed product Briumvi, which is approved in multiple sclerosis indication. Earlier this month, the company reported full year 2024 results where Briumvi product sales surged more than 200% year-over-year to $313 million.

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 TG Therapeutics, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 127.5% 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 TGTX going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
