ProFrac Holding Corp. (ACDC) shares soared 23% in the last trading session to close at $5.30. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 40.6% loss over the past four weeks.

An analyst from Stifel has recently raised the target price for ProFrac Holding Corp.’s stocks. This might have led to ACDC’s latest share price hike.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For ProFrac Holding Corp., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 11.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation.
