Exponent Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPO) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise almost 9% on the day. The upside was driven by the company’s announcement of better-than-expected earnings for third-quarter 2016, after the market closed on Oct 19. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $48.70 to $51.08 in the past one-month time frame.
In the last 30 days, the company has seen no estimate revision and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
Exponent currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
A better-ranked Consulting stock is Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) , which holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
