Strength Seen in TELA Bio, Inc. (TELA): Can Its 11.4% Jump Turn into More Strength?
TELA Bio, Inc. TELA shares ended the last trading session 11.4% higher at $11.16. 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 4.5% gain over the past four weeks.
The rise in stock prices can be attributed to a survey conducted by TELA Bio on consumer awareness and preferences for hernia repair options. Results showed a preference for natural repair options among those with previous mesh repairs, a desire for shared decision-making with doctors, and an expectation for advanced and innovative solutions from doctors.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.58 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +27.5%. Revenues are expected to be $14.6 million, up 40.3% from the year-ago quarter.
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 TELA Bio, 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 TELA going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
