51job Inc. (JOBS) saw a big move in the last trading session, as the company’s shares fell by nearly 9% 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 $67.10 to $73.89 in the past one-month time frame.
The company, a provider of integrated human resource services, has not seen any estimate revision over the past month, though the current year earnings consensus has moved lower over the last 30 days. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.
JOBS currently holds a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
Investors interested in the Consumer Staples sector may consider better-ranked stocks like B&G Foods Inc. (BGS), Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (CCLAY) and Stonemor Partners LP (STON). Each of these stocks carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
