This compares to the stock's 22.4% loss over the past four weeks.Garrett shares rose yesterday as investors reacted to its strong position in the niche turbocharger market, where limited competition helps protect profit margins. The gain was also fueled by new business wins that highlight its technology leadership and support ongoing expansion in the US and China.This maker of vehicle turbocharging and electric-boosting gear is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. Revenues are expected to be $839 million, down 8.3% 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 Garrett Motion, 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.
