Gentiva Health Services Inc. (GTIV) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell over 6% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading below the volatile price range of $8.5 to $9.5 in the past one-month time frame.
This home health services provider company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions, as there has been only one negative revision in the past few weeks.
