Simply Wall St ·  Oct 31 18:10

Last week saw the newest quarterly earnings release from NARI Technology Co., Ltd. (SHSE:600406), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. It was a pretty mixed result, with revenues beating expectations to hit CN¥12b. Statutory earnings fell 6.4% short of analyst forecasts, reaching CN¥0.22 per share. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.

SHSE:600406 Earnings and Revenue Growth October 31st 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for NARI Technology from 19 analysts is for revenues of CN¥64.5b in 2025. If met, it would imply a notable 17% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to shoot up 22% to CN¥1.14. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥64.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥1.15 in 2025. 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.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of CN¥29.07, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. 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 NARI Technology analyst has a price target of CN¥35.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at CN¥25.85. 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 NARI Technology shareholders.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of NARI Technology'shistorical trends, as the 13% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 11% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 17% per year. So although NARI Technology is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower 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, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that NARI Technology'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.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for NARI Technology going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here..
