Almost Family (AFAM) Worth Watching: Stock Gains 7.3% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks

Almost Family Inc. (AFAM) was a big mover last session with its shares rising over 7% on the day. The upside was a result of research firm Robert W. Baird upgrading its rating on the stock from Neutral to Outperform on Feb 27. This development led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. The move continues the recent uptrend of the company as the stock has gained almost 21% since Feb 20.

This provider of home health services has seen one positive estimate revision in the last 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has also moved higher over the same period. This implies solid trading potential for the company. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if Friday’s rally can turn into more strength down the road.

Almost Family currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is positive.

A better-ranked specialized health services stock is Chemed Corp. (CHE), which sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
