Evolus, Inc. (EOLS) shares rallied 28.3% in the last trading session to close at $13.48. 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 3% loss over the past four weeks.
The sharp upsurge in EOLS shares can be attributed to positive market sentiment surrounding the company’s impressive preliminary results and strong growth outlook. Evolus reported a strong preliminary Q4 2024 performance, posting $79 million in sales, a 30% year-over-year increase, and surpassing expectations. Investors are optimistic about the company’s continued growth, as it projects net revenues of $345 million to $355 million in 2025, a 30% to 33% growth from 2024. Additionally, the company’s upcoming product launches, including FDA approvals for Evolysse Form and Evolysse Smooth, have further fueled investor confidence. With these promising developments, Evolus is positioned for continued earnings and revenue growth, driving the stock’s upward momentum.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.04 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +128.6%. Revenues are expected to be $77.2 million, up 26.6% from the year-ago quarter.
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 Evolus, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on EOLS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
