Landmark Bancorp (LARK) shares surged 6.3% to close at $32.97, driven by optimism ahead of third quarter results following better-than-expected second quarter earnings. The company is expected to report quarterly EPS of $0.89 (+9.9% YoY) and revenues of $19.1 million (+5.2% YoY). However, with consensus EPS estimates unchanged over the past 30 days, analysts caution that the stock may struggle to sustain momentum without positive earnings estimate revisions.
