Laird Superfood’s growth has been driven by strong performance in its e-commerce segment, improved operational efficiency and expanding brand presence.

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.

And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions.
