Breville Group Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?- Analysts are assuming Breville Group's revenue will grow by 7.7% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 8.1% today to 8.3% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach A$167.4 million (and earnings per share of A$1.16) by about May 2028, up from A$132.1 million today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting A$186.8 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting A$145 million.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 36.9x on those 2028 earnings, up from 31.1x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the AU Consumer Durables industry at 19.1x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.35% per year for the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.8%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- The potential U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports pose a risk, as they could increase costs and impact inventory management strategies, affecting profitability and net margins.
- Elevated shipping costs, particularly into the EMEA region, alongside a strong U.S. dollar, have dampened gross margin percentages, potentially impacting net margins.
- The move to a direct sales model in China is expected to take time to become profitable, potentially affecting short-term earnings.
- The shift from a first-party to a third-party model with Amazon in EMEA could cause temporary revenue headwinds as inventory adjustments occur, affecting topline revenue.
- Currency fluctuations remain a risk, especially given Breville's transactional exposure due to purchasing mainly in U.S. dollars, which could impact both revenue and net profits due to hedging dynamics.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?- The analysts have a consensus price target of A$34.014 for Breville Group based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of A$41.1, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just A$21.0.
- In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be A$2.0 billion, earnings will come to A$167.4 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 36.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 7.8%.
- Given the current share price of A$28.54, the analyst price target of A$34.01 is 16.1% higher.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
