The Zacks Rank is widely followed by investors and is known for its focus on earnings estimate revisions and surprise prediction. A Strong Buy rating suggests that IHS Holding may outperform the market in the near term, which explains the enthusiastic response from investors. As the market opens, it will be interesting to see if this positive momentum continues and whether IHS Holding can maintain its upward trajectory based on this improved analyst sentiment and strong pre-market performance.
