United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ: UTHR) saw a big move last session, as the company's shares fell by nearly 8.0% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent downtrend for UTHR, as the stock is now down nearly 10.9% in the past one-month time frame.
This slump shouldn't be too much of a surprise to investors, as the company has seen one negative revision in the past few weeks and its current year earnings estimate has moved lower over the last 30 days. This suggests there may be more trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent slump will continue, as the earnings picture definitely suggests that this might be the case.
UTHR currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) while its Earnings ESP is 0.0%.
Some better-ranked stocks in the health care sector include Aeolus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AOLS), Aerie Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AERI) and Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
