ATN International (ATNI) Moves 12.5% Higher: Will This Strength Last?
The uptrend was largely buoyed by the divestment of 214 Southwestern U.S. towers and related operations for up to $297 million in an all-cash transaction. The divestment will enable ATNI to unlock the inherent value of its tower portfolio and reduce its debt burden. It will further increase its liquidity and improve financial flexibility to help invest in core operations for sustainable, long-term value creation.
This provider of telecommunications services is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -89.3%. Revenues are expected to be $183.6 million, up 1.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For ATN International, the consensus EPS 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 earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on ATNI going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.

Reliving the 2013 "taper tantrum"! The "global asset pricing benchmark" surges 50 basis points in a single month—a rare occurrence
The U.S. Treasury market is experiencing its worst single-month decline in four years—10-year yields have surged by more than 50 basis points in September, surpassing 5.3% and hitting their highest level since 2002. Forced selling has been occurring one after another, forming a vicious cycle: marginal buyers are absent, policy tools have become ineffective, and Goldman Sachs warns that the monthly "speed limit" has been breached, with historical patterns pointing toward a severe stock market downturn. This turmoil may signal the end of the era of globally low interest rates.
