Haemonetics Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Haemonetics's revenue will grow by 7.6% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 9.1% today to 17.7% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $300.8 million (and earnings per share of $5.85) by about November 2027, up from $123.8 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 22.7x on those 2027 earnings, down from 34.4x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the US Medical Equipment industry at 35.4x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.81% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.57%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

• Declines in plasma revenue and disposables revenue in North America, along with challenges from CSL's planned transition, could negatively impact overall revenues and net margins.
  
• Flat software revenue in the second quarter, despite year-to-date growth, indicates potential challenges in maintaining consistent revenue streams from software, impacting earnings.
  
• Blood Center revenue declining by 1% and the ongoing rationalization of the whole blood business signal continued struggles within this segment, potentially affecting the company's margins and overall revenue growth.
  
• Challenges in the Chinese market, particularly for TEG products, and pricing pressures could limit international revenue growth, impacting the company's profitability and earnings.
  
• Increased operating expenses due to acquisitions and investments in innovation could pressure net margins and operating income if corresponding revenue growth does not meet expectations.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $110.8 for Haemonetics 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 $125.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $85.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2027, revenues will be $1.7 billion, earnings will come to $300.8 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 22.7x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.6%.
• Given the current share price of $84.83, the analyst's price target of $110.8 is 23.4% 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.
