$BIO Stock Rises 6.2% – Tale of the Tape

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (BIO) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 6% on the day. The upside came after the company reported net income of 61 cents per share for first-quarter 2015, compared with 23 cents recorded in the year-ago quarter. This led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session, breaking the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $134.45 to $138.76 over the past one-month time frame.

None of the estimates for this stock were revised in the past 30 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate also remained unchanged over the same time frame. The recent price action is encouraging though, so make sure to keep a close watch on this firm in the near future.
