Following the latest results, Green Impact Partners' four analysts are now forecasting revenues of CA$163.9m in 2022. This would be a decent 12% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Losses are forecast to balloon 53% to CA$0.09 per share. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CA$159.7m and losses of CA$0.11 per share in 2022. There's been a pretty noticeable increase in sentiment, with the analysts upgrading revenues and making a cut to loss per share in particular.
It will come as no surprise to learn thatthe analysts have increased their price target for Green Impact Partners 5.1% to CA$12.30on the back of these upgrades. 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. The most optimistic Green Impact Partners analyst has a price target of CA$14.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at CA$11.00. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Green Impact Partners' past performance and to peers in the same industry. The period to the end of 2022 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 17% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 18% annual growth over the past year. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 10% annually. So although Green Impact Partners is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most obvious conclusion is that the analysts made no changes to their forecasts for a loss next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.
With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have forecasts for Green Impact Partners going out to 2024, and you can see them free on our platform here.
