Zacks

Cognex Corporation (CGNX) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell over 8% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the most recent uptrend for CGNX, as the stock is now up over 6% since Feb 5.

This Scientific & Technical Instruments company has seen a flat track record when it comes to current year estimate revisions, as there has been only one negative revision in the past few weeks.
