Genius Sports Limited (GENI) Soars 25.7%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Genius Sports Limited GENI shares soared 25.7% in the last trading session to close at $7.30. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 1% loss over the past four weeks.

The upswing in shares can be attributed to the news that the National Football League (NFL) and Genius Sports have agreed to a multi-year extension of their existing strategic partnership through the end of the 2027-28 season.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.04 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -100%. Revenues are expected to be $80.15 million, up 12.7% 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 Genius Sports Limited, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
