Recent Performance and Upcoming Earnings
Si-Bone (SIBN) saw its stock price climb 6.9% during the last trading session, reaching $13.11. This rally can be linked to increased trading volume, indicating heightened investor interest. However, it’s essential to note the stock’s 12.2% decline over the last month, which sets a contrasting backdrop for the recent uptick.
The rise in Si-Bone’s stock can largely be attributed to growing investor optimism regarding its upcoming third-quarter 2024 financial results, scheduled for release on November 12 after the market closes. The Zacks Consensus Estimate forecasts a revenue increase of 19.04% and an earnings rise of 12% for this quarter. Remarkably, Si-Bone has beaten earnings expectations in each of the last four quarters.
Quarterly Projections and Historical Context
Analysts predict that Si-Bone will report a quarterly loss of $0.22 per share, reflecting a year-over-year improvement of 12%. Expected revenues of $40.49 million would represent a 19% increase compared to the same quarter last year.
Earnings and revenue projections are crucial for assessing stock potential. Historical data suggests a strong link between earnings estimate trends and stock price movements. However, the consensus for Si-Bone’s earnings per share (EPS) has not changed in the past 30 days. Consequently, stock prices typically do not continue to rise without fluctuations in earnings estimates. Investors should monitor SIBN to see if this recent increase indicates sustained growth.

For InspireMD, the EPS estimate for its upcoming report remains steady at -$0.20, representing a 33.3% decline from the previous year. Similar to Si-Bone, InspireMD also bears a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
