    Price of the stock will go up

    Explanation:

    In order to predict future movements of stock prices, analysts use reported quarterly earnings, usually in the forms of earnings per share. However, analyst's estimation is only opinion, that may differ from what would really happen. If company's earnings exceed their own estimations, as in this case, we could expect stock value to rise. However, in the case where actual earnings are a bit lower than projected ones, the price of the stock will drop.
