Shares of Truist Financial rallied for the second consecutive day. A statement from the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about readiness of the administration to protect banks by taking additional steps as the industry faces worst crisis since 2008 resulted in positive investor sentiments. This drove the TFC stock higher.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -5.7%. Revenues are expected to be $6.11 billion, up 14.8% 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 Truist Financial Corporation, 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.
