A key reason for this move has been the positive trend in the earnings estimate revisions picture. For EMCI’s full year estimate, we have seen 1 estimate go higher in the past 30 days, compared to none lower. This trend has helped the consensus estimate to trend higher, going from $2.45 a share a month ago to its current level at $3 cents.
This positive shift in estimates has made some investors take notice and buy the stock. In fact, EMCI has seen some pretty solid trading lately, as the company has moved higher by 22.4% in the past month.
If EMC Insurance can keep up this great momentum on the earnings estimate front and continue to impress analysts, we could see more gains ahead for this company, suggesting that you might want to put EMCI on your watch list for the future.
