Nordson (NDSN) Stock Jumps 3.1%: Will It Continue to Soar?

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

Nordson (NDSN) shares soared 3.1% in the last trading session to close at $243.30. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 0.7% loss over the past four weeks.

The increase in shares of the company can be attributed to the optimism surrounding easing supply chain disruptions and, reduction in raw material costs, thanks to deceleration in inflation.

This maker of adhesives and industrial coatings is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.99 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -3.9%. Revenues are expected to be $625.87 million, up 2.7% 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.
