Colliers International (CIGI) Surges 4.2%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

Colliers International CIGI shares ended the last trading session 4.2% higher at $111.50. 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 9.4% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased optimism in the stock arises from the rebound in the United States real estate operations sector.

This commercial real estate services provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.45 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +0.7%. Revenues are expected to be $964.85 million, down 3.6% 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 Colliers International, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
