It's been a good week for Jangho Group Co., Ltd. (SHSE:601886) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest quarterly results, and the shares gained 8.6% to CN¥4.69. Results look mixed - while revenue fell marginally short of analyst estimates at CN¥4.1b, statutory earnings were in line with expectations, at CN¥0.59 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on Jangho Group after the latest results.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Jangho Group's four analysts is for revenues of CN¥24.4b in 2024. This reflects a decent 11% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to climb 13% to CN¥0.70. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of CN¥24.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥0.71 in 2024. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at CN¥9.51. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic Jangho Group analyst has a price target of CN¥11.02 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at CN¥8.00. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Jangho Group shareholders.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting Jangho Group's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 15% annualised growth to the end of 2024 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 3.5% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 10% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Jangho Group to grow faster than the wider industry.

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. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at CN¥9.51, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Jangho Group. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
