Revenues are expected to be $148 million, up 150.6% from the year-ago quarter.While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.For SkyWater Technology, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
