Houston Wire & Cable (HWCC) Crumbles: Stock Falls by 5.9% – Tale of the Tape

ZacksHouston Wire & Cable Company (HWCC) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by nearly 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 $10.51 to $10.99 in the past one-month time frame.

Houston Wire & Cable has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks (no increase, no decrease), and the consensus for earnings hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.

HWCC currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

A better-ranked stock in the industrial products sector is Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (BERY), which currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
