Syros Pharmaceuticals (SYRS) Soars 22.2%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Zacks Equity Research
·2 min read

Syros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SYRS) shares rallied 22.2% in the last trading session to close at $5.50. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 31.4% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock rallied after the FDA granted a Fast Track designation to the company’s lead pipeline candidate, tamibarotene, in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax for treating newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia with RARA gene overexpression in adult patients aged more than 75 years or who have comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.89 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -4.7%. Revenues are expected to be $1.3 million, down 55.9% 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.
