Egalet Corporation (EGLT) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by over 7% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent trend for EGLT as the stock is now up over 42% in the past one-month time frame.
On Jun 30, the company announced its top-line results from Oral Human Abuse Liability Study of Egalet-002.
The specialty pharmaceutical company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks, and the consensus for earnings hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.
EGLT currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
A better-ranked stock in the same sector is Flexion Therapeutics, Inc. (FLXN), holding a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
