After the latest results, the two analysts covering Hackett Group are now predicting revenues of US$306.5m in 2024. If met, this would reflect a modest 3.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory per share are forecast to be US$1.26, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$305.5m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$1.27 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.
在最新的财报公布之后,覆盖哈克特服务的两位分析师现在预测其2024年的营业收入将达到3,0650万美元。如果实现这一预期,它将反映出相对于过去12个月的营收增长轻微的3.1%。每股收益预计为1.26美元,与过去12个月基本持平。然而,在最新业绩公布前,分析师曾预计2024年哈克特服务的营收为3,0550万美元,每股收益为1.27美元。共识分析师似乎没有从这些结果中看到任何改变,因为他们对业务的估计没有发生重大变化。
The consensus price target rose 8.1% to US$29.00despite there being no meaningful change to earnings estimates. It could be that the analystsare reflecting the predictability of Hackett Group's earnings by assigning a price premium.
尽管营收预测没有发生实质性的变化,共识价格目标仍上涨了8.1%,达到29.00美元。分析师可能正在反映哈克特服务的收益可预测性并给予溢价。
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Hackett Group's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The analysts are definitely expecting Hackett Group's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 6.2% annualised growth to the end of 2024 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 4.0% 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 8.9% per year. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Hackett Group is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.
这些预估数据很有趣,但在看预测与哈克特服务过去的业绩以及同行业的同行进行比较时,光谱上画出一些更广泛的笔触也是很有用的。分析师绝对希望哈克特服务的增长加速,到2024年底预计年化增长率为6.2%,优于过去五年平均每年4.0%的历史增长水平。相比之下,我们的数据表明同一行业的其他公司(受到分析师关注)预计年增收益率为8.9%。因此明显可以看出,尽管增长加速,哈克特服务的增长速度预计仍会远低于行业平均水平。
The Bottom Line
最重要的事情是分析师增加了它对下一年每股亏损的估计。令人欣慰的是,营收预测未发生重大变化,业务仍有望比整个行业增长更快。共识价格目标稳定在28.50美元,最新估计不足以对价格目标产生影响。
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.
最重要的是,分析师们没有看到任何影响他们对于公司之前每股收益的估计的观点发生改变。好的一方面是营收预估没有发生重大变化,尽管预测表明它们将表现不如更广泛的行业。我们注意到价格目标的升级,这表明分析师认为企业的内在价值可能会随时间的推移而提高。
