OSI Systems Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming OSI Systems's revenue will grow by 5.3% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 8.1% today to 10.2% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $196.7 million (and earnings per share of $10.63) by about March 2028, up from $134.5 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 2028 earnings, down from 24.1x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Electronic industry at 19.9x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to decline by 1.46% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.98%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Risks

• The dependency on the U.S. government's changing defense policies and budget allocations could impact OSI Systems' revenue, especially in the RF Solutions business acquired recently.
  
• Potential fluctuations in the global economic environment and geopolitical tensions may affect revenue from international projects and contracts, particularly in the Security division.
  
• If the global aviation security upgrade cycle doesn't progress as anticipated, it might lead to lower-than-expected revenue growth in OSI Systems' aviation security product lines.
  
• The challenges of rightsizing inventory levels and managing cost structures could adversely affect operational efficiency and net margins in OSI's Optoelectronics division.
  
• Continued investments and expenses in R&D for next-generation healthcare products could strain operating margins if the new products do not generate anticipated returns quickly.
