Jumbo Interactive Limited Beat Analyst Estimates: See What The Consensus Is Forecasting For This Year

Jumbo Interactive Limited (ASX:JIN) defied analyst predictions to release its annual results, which were ahead of market expectations. Results were good overall, with revenues beating analyst predictions by 2.8% to hit AU$147m. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in at AU$0.64, some 7.8% above whatthe analysts had expected. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

The consensus price target was unchanged at AU$12.53, suggesting the business is performing roughly in line with expectations, despite some adjustments to profit and revenue forecasts. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Jumbo Interactive at AU$15.20 per share, while the most bearish prices it at AU$9.00. 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. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Jumbo Interactive'shistorical trends, as the 14% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 is roughly in line with the 16% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 4.6% annually. So although Jumbo Interactive is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Jumbo Interactive. Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting them to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at AU$12.53, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Jumbo Interactive going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here..
