Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) Surges 7.3%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) shares rallied 7.3% in the last trading session to close at $14.32. 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 7% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased optimism about the stock is attributable to the ongoing recovery in the United States office real estate market.

This company is expected to post quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -8.3%. Revenues are expected to be $136.59 million, down 7.3% from the year-ago quarter.

While FFO and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in FFO estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
