Global Partners LP (GLP) Moves 5.6% Higher: Will This Strength Last?
Global Partners LP (GLP) shares ended the last trading session 5.6% higher at $34.99. 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 5.7% gain over the past four weeks.
Global Partners' stock price soared on the last trading day, fueled by optimism about oil prices after production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia, as well as Russia's export ban on diesel and gasoline. The production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia, which are two of the world's largest oil producers, are expected to further tighten the global oil market and support prices. Russia's export ban on diesel and gasoline is also expected to boost oil prices, as it will reduce the supply of these products on the global market. Global Partners is a midstream company that transports, stores, and distributes oil and other petroleum products. The company is benefiting from the rising oil prices, as it is able to charge higher fees for its services.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -74%. Revenues are expected to be $4.26 billion, down 7.8% 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 Global Partners LP, 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 GLP going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
