The Babcock & Wilcox Company (BWC) Rises: Stock Up 5.9% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

The Babcock & Wilcox Company (BWC) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise nearly 6% on the day. The move came after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2014 results, wherein earnings per share of 64 cents beat analyst estimates by 20 cents. This led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session, continuing the recent uptrend of the company as the stock is now up 14% since Feb 4.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised in the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged over the same time frame. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Babcock & Wilcox carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while its Earnings ESP is positive.

A better-ranked stock in the diversified machinery industry is Kadant Inc. (KAI), holding a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
