Yext (YEXT) Soars 6.4%: Is Further Upside Left in the Stock?

Yext (YEXT) shares rallied 6.4% in the trading session on May 13 to close at $5.30. 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 19.2% loss over the past four weeks.

The stock is benefiting from the company’s underlying strength in its business, driven by continued product growth and market expansion.

This software developer is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.07 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -250%. Revenues are expected to be $96.7 million, up 5.1% 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.
