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 TG Therapeutics, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
