Five Star Quality Care (FVE) in Focus: Stock Gains 12.3% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Five Star Quality Care Inc. (FVE) was a big mover last session with its shares rising over 12% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This reverses the recent downtrend for the company as the stock has lost over 18% in the past one-month time frame.

This company that manages senior living communities in the U.S. has seen no estimate revision in the last 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate hasn’t been in trend either. Yesterday’s price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Five Star Quality Care currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) while its Earnings ESP is negative.

Investors interested in the medical services sector may consider better-ranked stocks like Almost Family Inc. (AFAM), Amedisys Inc. (AMED) and HEALTHSOUTH Corp. (HLS). All the three stocks bear a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
