Atlassian (TEAM) Soars 6.5%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

In this article:

Atlassian TEAM shares rallied 6.5% in the last trading session to close at $215.14. 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 8.5% gain over the past four weeks.

The upswing came after the U.S. Federal Reserve kept benchmark interest rates unchanged for the third consecutive time due to easing inflation. Furthermore, the central bank hinted a dovish stance and expect three rate cuts in 2024. A decline in interest rates would boost IT spending, thereby increasing demand for Atlassian’s solutions.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.61 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +35.6%. Revenues are expected to be $1.02 billion, up 16.8% 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 Atlassian, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.9% 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 TEAM going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
