Pier 1 (PIR) Looks Good: Stock Adds 7.1% in Session

Pier 1 Imports, Inc. PIR was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $0.30–$1.11 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase yesterday.

The company has seen its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter move higher over the past few weeks, suggesting that more solid trading could be ahead for Pier 1. So, make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
