Synovus (SNV) Soars 10.0%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Synovus Financial (SNV) shares ended the last trading session 10% higher at $31.17. 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 34.4% loss over the past four weeks.

Increasing investor optimism about the U.S. banking system, backed by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s reassurance that regulatory agencies may make additional rescue arrangements if any smaller banks fail and put financial stability at risk. This mainly drove Synovus Bank’s stock.

This holding company for Synovus Bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.5%. Revenues are expected to be $601.66 million, up 20.9% 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 Synovus, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
