Second-quarter adjusted EPS was USD 0.95 against a USD 0.77 consensus, with revenue up 10.4% to USD 1.61 billion.

The Data Behind the Move

The consensus target is about USD 89.91, insiders sold more than 1.09 million shares worth about USD 97.4 million over three months, and the market value is USD 7.08 billion. Simple arithmetic puts the prior close near USD 82.87, so the move is about USD 5.89 a share. A gap of 0.56% implies an opening price near USD 83.33, and the move of 6.52% from the open lifts or lowers the price to USD 88.76. Traded value is only about USD 54.8 million against a market value of USD 7.08 billion, so few dollars moved the price. The stock gapped higher and kept rising from the open, which shows buying through the session. Relative volume of 0.3 times is below normal, and an RSI of 56.4 is a neutral reading, with the screen labeling the trend Strong up.
