While media publications or rumors about a significant change in the business prospects of a company usually carry out its shares as a “trend” and lead to an immediate change in price, there are always some basic facts that ultimately dominate the purchase and hate decision finding.

Instead of concentrating on anything else, we prioritize the evaluation of the change in the profit projection of a company at Zacks. This is due to the fact that we believe that the current value for its shares is determined by the cash value of his future profit current.

For this reason, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in the revisions of the yield estimate and short -term share price movements.
