Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) Soars 7.0%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Jones Lang LaSalle JLL shares rallied 7% in the last trading session to close at $136.21. 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 9.5% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased optimism surrounding the U.S. real estate operations sector is likely to have raised investors’ confidence, driving the stock up.

This financial and professional services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.70 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -51%. Revenues are expected to be $4.56 billion, down 5% 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.
