Strength Seen in JFrog Ltd. (FROG): Can Its 7.8% Jump Turn into More Strength?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

JFrog Ltd. FROG shares ended the last trading session 7.8% higher at $20.44. 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 7% gain over the past four weeks.

JFrog is benefiting from an expanding clientele and strong growth in subscription revenues.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -400%. Revenues are expected to be $65.58 million, up 34.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
