New York Mortgage Trust (NYMT) Stock Jumps 6.5%: Will It Continue to Soar?

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

New York Mortgage Trust (NYMT) shares rallied 6.5% in the last trading session to close at $9.74. 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 23.5% loss over the past four weeks.

New York Mortgage Trust increased the authorization of its previously announced common stock repurchase program by $200 million. With this, $246 million is available for buyback under the existing share repurchase program. Thus, the company’s efforts to enhance shareholder value through efficient capital deployments mostly drove the stock.

This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +155%. Revenues are expected to be $25.1 million, down 16% 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.
