Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (NYSE:LPX) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 7% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This stock, which remained volatile and traded within the range of $26.73–$30.74 in the past one-month time frame, witnessed a sharp increase yesterday.

The shares rose after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2017 results.

The company has seen one positive estimate revision in the past two months. Its Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter, however, has remained unchanged over the same time frame. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.

Louisiana-Pacific currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Zacks’ has just released a new Special Report to help readers capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
