Anywhere Real Estate (HOUS) Stock Jumps 17.9%: Will It Continue to Soar?

Anywhere Real Estate (HOUS) shares soared 17.9% in the last trading session to close at $17.03. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 1.7% loss over the past four weeks.

The increased investor optimism in the stock can be attributed to major progress on its merger with Compass Inc.

This real estate brokerage operator is expected to post a quarterly loss of $0.13 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +71.1%. Revenues are expected to be $1.38 billion, up 1.7% from the year-ago quarter.

While FFO and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in FFO estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For Anywhere Real Estate, the consensus FFO per share estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in FFO estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on HOUS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
