Resideo Technologies Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Resideo Technologies's revenue will grow by 7.8% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 2.5% today to 3.9% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $317.8 million (and earnings per share of $2.86) by about December 2027, up from $161.0 million today.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 12.6x on those 2027 earnings, down from 23.2x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Building industry at 21.9x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 8.95% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 8.6%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Resideo Technologies Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• There are uncertainties in the existing home sales market in the United States and continued weakness in the EMEA market that could adversely impact revenue growth.
  
• The potential slowing of gross margin expansion, as noted by the CFO, may lead to pressures on net margins if efficiencies and new product introductions are not executed as expected.
  
• Lower volumes in EMEA for gas combustion and heat pump products, coupled with ongoing security product challenges, may constrain revenue growth and affect earnings.
  
• Increased competition and more competitive pricing in ADI's organic business could add pressure on gross margins, potentially impacting overall profitability.
  
• The planned retirement of the CEO, Jay Geldmacher, and the pending transition to new leadership could introduce execution risk in strategic initiatives, which may affect future revenue and earnings growth.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $28.33 for Resideo Technologies 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 $31.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $25.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2027, revenues will be $8.1 billion, earnings will come to $317.8 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 12.6x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.6%.
• Given the current share price of $25.45, the analyst's price target of $28.33 is 10.2% 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.
