After 7% Drop Last Week, Can Inter Parfums Stock Strongly Recover?

The stock price of Inter Parfums (NASDAQ:IPAR) reached its 52-week high of $80 earlier this month, and has since dropped from that level. Inter Parfums is a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of fragrances and related products. The stock fell 7% in the past week, to levels of around $74 currently. Inter Parfums reported Q2 2021 earnings last week, with revenue coming in at $208 million, up significantly from $50 million in Q2 2020, as demand for fragrances and perfumes has picked up rapidly. COGS and operating expenses rose at a slower rate, with operating profit coming in at $45 million, against a $6 million loss for the same period last year. This helped EPS rise from -$0.10 to $0.72 over this period.

However, after a 7% fall in a week, will IPAR stock continue its downward trajectory over the coming weeks, or is a recovery in the stock imminent? According to the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, which identifies trends in a company’s stock price using ten years of historical data, returns for Inter Parfums stock average 2.1% in the next one-month (twenty-one trading days) period after experiencing a 6.7% drop over the previous week (five trading days).
