Vivara Participações Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 14.4x on those 2028 earnings, up from 7.2x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the BR Luxury industry at 7.8x.

Vivara Participações Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Vivara's reliance on timely and effective inventory management, especially with the change to nationalization and the potential risk of miscalculations leading to overstock or understock situations, could heavily impact revenues and net margins.
  
• The pressure of increasing raw material costs, especially gold, and the need to pass these increases to consumers without affecting demand could negatively impact gross margins and profits if not managed properly.
  
• High expectations on the performance of newly launched collections and their acceptance by consumers pose a risk of declining sales if not well-received, impacting revenue and profitability.
  
• The company's aggressive expansion strategy, particularly in opening new Life stores, may experience unforeseen challenges or slower-than-anticipated returns, thereby affecting revenue growth and overall earnings.
  
• Any failure in executing operational efficiencies or in realizing anticipated productivity gains in the manufacturing process could lead to higher-than-expected costs, thus impacting net margins and overall profitability.

Valuation

• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be R$3.8 billion, earnings will come to R$798.0 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 14.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 19.9%.
• Given the current share price of R$20.07, the analyst price target of R$28.38 is 29.3% 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.
