STOCKS SURGE AS FED RATE-HIKE FEARS FADE

Apple beats Q2 estimates with iPhone sales declining 10%

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Duolingo, Inc. (DUOL) shares soared 5.3% in the last trading session to close at $205.06. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 16.8% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock recorded the price increase on an announcement made by the S&P Dow Jones Indices stating that the company would replace Cable One Inc. in the S&P MidCap 400 index before trading starts on Apr 22, 2024.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.30 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +600%. Revenues are expected to be $165.02 million, up 42.7% 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.
