Despite favorable findings from its spinal cord stimulation clinical studies for painful diabetic neuropathy, the stock price of Nevro (NASDAQ: NVRO), a medical products firm, has dropped 7% in the previous five trading days. While NVRO stock reacted favourably to this news last week, it has dropped almost 7% this week as a result of the company’s management indicating that the rate of demand recovery in recent months hasn’t been as robust as expected. [1] Nevro’s Q2 results are projected to fall short of the company’s guidance of $105 million at the midpoint of its range. Will the stock of NVRO, which has dropped 7% in just five days, continue to collapse in the next weeks, or will it begin to rise? After a 7 percent loss in the previous week, the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, which finds trends in the company’s historical stock price data, NVRO stock returns average roughly 5.3 percent in the next one-month (21 trading days) period (five trading days).
But how do these figures vary if you choose to hold NVRO shares for a shorter or longer period of time? On the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, you may test the response and many other combinations to see if Nevro stock would rise following a decline. You can evaluate the likelihood of recovery across time intervals of a quarter, month, or even a single day!
