Newmark Group (NMRK) Moves 7.6% Higher: Will This Strength Last?

Newmark Group NMRK shares ended the last trading session 7.6% higher at $9.48. 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 20.7% loss over the past four weeks.

Return to office and a significant increase in utilization rates are creating opportunities for the company’s business. Robust debt-market originations and higher leasing demand are poised to drive commercial mortgage origination revenues and leasing commissions, respectively. This led to bullish investor sentiments, which likely drove the Newmark Group stock.

This provider of commercial real estate services is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +19.4%. Revenues are expected to be $659.55 million, up 4.7% 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.
