Strength Seen in Sunrun (RUN): Can Its 11.7% Jump Turn into More Strength?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Sunrun (RUN) shares soared 11.7% in the last trading session to close at $19.02. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 32.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The latest uptick in the share performance of Sunrun can be attributed to recent market expectations that projects the Federal Reserve to slow its pace of rate hike increases. Since solar investments require high levels of capital investment, so this rate outlook must have boosted RUN’s share price.

This solar energy products distributor is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.04 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +90.5%. Revenues are expected to be $524.96 million, up 5.9% 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.

For Sunrun, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.8% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
