Grupo SBF Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Grupo SBF's revenue will grow by 7.7% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will shrink from 7.4% today to 6.8% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach R$604.9 million (and earnings per share of R$2.97) by about February 2028, up from R$527.8 million today. However, there is some disagreement amongst the analysts with the more bearish ones expecting earnings as low as R$438 million.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 11.4x on those 2028 earnings, up from 4.9x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the BR Specialty Retail industry at 8.0x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to remain consistent over the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 22.07%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Grupo SBF Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The expansion efforts require significant investment, and failure to efficiently manage new store openings or channel diversification could jeopardize expected revenue growth and impact net margins due to higher-than-anticipated operating costs.
  
• The economic environment, including fluctuating currency exchange rates, may pose a risk to cost control and profitability, especially if the Brazilian real depreciates significantly, which would affect earnings.
  
• Competition and market dynamics, including potential over-reliance on brands like Nike, might become challenging if consumer preferences shift or if competitive pressures lead to aggressive discounting, impacting revenue and net profit margins.
  
• Despite improvements, there could be remaining inefficiencies in operational execution or inventory management that need resolution to avoid eroding cash flow and overall earnings.
  
• Global interest rate increases could impact debt servicing costs or affect consumer spending, potentially suppressing revenue growth and adding pressure to net margins.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of R$15.511 for Grupo SBF 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 R$19.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just R$12.5.
  
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be R$8.9 billion, earnings will come to R$604.9 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 11.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 22.1%.
  
• Given the current share price of R$10.6, the analyst price target of R$15.51 is 31.7% 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.
