IAC Inc. IAC shares rallied 8.8% in the last trading session to close at $35.56. 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 25.4% loss over the past four weeks.
IAC’s rally was fueled by the Trump administration’s announcement of a temporary halt on reciprocal tariffs for most countries. This policy shift was aimed at counteracting the sharp sell-off in the market and easing worries that higher tariffs might trigger a recession.
This Y is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.72 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +22.6%. Revenues are expected to be $809.83 million, down 12.9% 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 IAC, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 90.8% 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. So, make sure to keep an eye on IAC going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
