As you might know, Ningbo Joyson Electronic Corp. (SHSE:600699) last week released its latest third-quarter, and things did not turn out so great for shareholders. Earnings fell badly short of analyst estimates, with CN¥14b revenues missing by 18%, and statutory earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥0.22 falling short of forecasts by some -17%. 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. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Ningbo Joyson Electronic from 19 analysts is for revenues of CN¥63.0b in 2025. If met, it would imply a meaningful 13% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 41% to CN¥1.26. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CN¥63.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥1.27 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.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of CN¥20.40, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. The most optimistic Ningbo Joyson Electronic analyst has a price target of CN¥30.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at CN¥16.00. This is a fairly broad spread of estimates, suggesting that analysts are forecasting a wide range of possible outcomes for the business.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. For example, we noticed that Ningbo Joyson Electronic's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 11% growth to the end of 2025 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 0.4% a year over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 18% annually for the foreseeable future. So although Ningbo Joyson Electronic's revenue growth is expected to improve, it is still expected to grow slower than the industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Ningbo Joyson Electronic's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have estimates - from multiple Ningbo Joyson Electronic analysts - going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
