Shareholders might have noticed that Luxshare Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (SZSE:002475) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 5.7% to CN¥43.42 in the past week. Results overall were respectable, with statutory earnings of CN¥0.51 per share roughly in line with what the analysts had forecast. Revenues of CN¥74b came in 8.9% ahead of analyst predictions. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Luxshare Precision Industry from 29 analysts is for revenues of CN¥300.2b in 2025. If met, it would imply a solid 19% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 39% to CN¥2.44. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥296.0b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥2.44 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

With the analysts reconfirming their revenue and earnings forecasts, it's surprising to see that the price target rose 5.1% to CN¥49.72. It looks as though they previously had some doubts over whether the business would live up to their expectations. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. There are some variant perceptions on Luxshare Precision Industry, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CN¥62.70 and the most bearish at CN¥33.00 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Luxshare Precision Industry's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 15% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 28% over the past five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 18% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Luxshare Precision Industry is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have forecasts for Luxshare Precision Industry going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
