Organogenesis Holdings Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Organogenesis Holdings's revenue will grow by 9.2% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from -0.2% today to 4.3% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $27.1 million (and earnings per share of $0.18) by about May 2028, up from $-937.0 thousand today. However, there is a considerable amount of disagreement amongst the analysts with the most bullish expecting $39 million in earnings, and the most bearish expecting $15.2 million.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 29.7x on those 2028 earnings, up from -660.5x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Biotechs industry at 20.4x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 4.33% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 6.52%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Organogenesis Holdings Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• The shifting implementation dates for LCDs and regulatory changes create market uncertainty and could disrupt demand and utilization trends, impacting net revenue in the short term.
  
• There is a risk of delayed conversion and slower uptake of products not on the covered list, like PuraPly, potentially affecting revenue and market share.
  
• The emphasis on clinical and real-world data requirements for product coverage means higher R&D spending and operational costs, which could compress net margins.
  
• Competitive dynamics post-LCD introduction may affect how quickly Organogenesis can capitalize on available market share, potentially impacting revenue and earnings.
  
• Engagement with CMS for payment methodology reform represents a long-term opportunity, but the absence of immediate changes could strain financial performance, affecting future net income.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of $6.0 for Organogenesis Holdings 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 $7.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $5.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $626.9 million, earnings will come to $27.1 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 29.7x, assuming you use a discount rate of 6.5%.
• Given the current share price of $4.88, the analyst price target of $6.0 is 18.7% 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.
