Verano Holdings Corp. (VRNOF) Surges 6.5%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

The company has been rising since Jan 5 following announcement of broadening retail footprint by opening of a new dispensary in Florida.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.04 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -200%. Revenues are expected to be $233.22 million, up 3.2% 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 Verano Holdings Corp., 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.
