Layne Christensen (LAYN) in Focus: Stock Moves 5% Higher

Zacks

Layne Christensen Company LAYN was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise just over 5% on the day. The move came on solid 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 above the volatile price range of $3.78 to $5.03 since Dec 8, 2015.

In the last 30 days, the company witnessed one negative estimate revision and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved lower over the same time frame, signaling trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday’s move higher can last.

Layne Christensen currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

A better-ranked stock in the same industry is KBR, Inc. KBR, which carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
