Novanta (NOVT) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.74 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.64 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.73 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 15.63%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this photonic and motion control components maker would post earnings of $0.69 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.75, delivering a surprise of 8.70%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Novanta , which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Components industry, posted revenues of $219.13 million for the quarter ended March 2023, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.73%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $204.22 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Novanta shares have added about 18.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.8%.

What's Next for Novanta?

While Novanta has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
