Following the latest results, Emirates Central Cooling Systems' eight analysts are now forecasting revenues of د.إ3.59b in 2025. This would be a notable 10.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to grow 11% to د.إ0.10. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of د.إ3.52b and earnings per share (EPS) of د.إ0.10 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of د.إ2.12, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Emirates Central Cooling Systems at د.إ2.70 per share, while the most bearish prices it at د.إ1.80. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 10.0% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 8.6% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 4.8% per year. So although Emirates Central Cooling Systems is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at د.إ2.12, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have estimates - from multiple Emirates Central Cooling Systems analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
