Staar Surgical's stock price surged 5.50% during intraday trading on Wednesday.
The movement appears to be driven by a positive earnings forecast released ahead of the company's upcoming financial results. According to earnings preview data, Staar Surgical is expected to report a first-quarter loss of 5 cents per share, a significant improvement from a loss of $1.10 per share in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, the company is forecast to report earnings of 3 cents per share.
The improved earnings outlook suggests the company's financial performance is strengthening, which likely prompted investor buying activity during the trading session.
