Strength Seen in MiX Telematics Limited (MIXT): Can Its 5.4% Jump Turn into More Strength?
MiX Telematics Limited MIXT shares rallied 5.4% in the last trading session to close at $6.83. 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 5.1% loss over the past four weeks.
The upswing in share price can be attributed to Mix Telematics' expanding customer base.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.14 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +75%. Revenues are expected to be $35.7 million, up 1.8% 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 MiX Telematics Limited, 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.
