Abacus Life, Inc. (ABL) shares soared 6.9% in the last trading session to close at $7.10. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 12.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The surge in price reflects investors' optimism on the announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs imposed by President Trump on most countries, though a 10% tariff stays in place. 

ABL stays focused on consolidating its position as a leading market maker and global alternative asset manager. The strength of partnerships with carriers and reinsurers remains a key contributor to its performance. 

Marketing initiatives, international expansion, prudent capital deployment, increased assets under management and expanding institutional relationships bode well for growth. Focusing on innovative technology represents a core and growing part of its business strategy.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +36.4%. Revenues are expected to be $35.85 million, up 66.8% 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 Abacus Life, Inc., 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 ABL going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
