Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Huali Industrial Group's 13 analysts is for revenues of CN¥24.1b in 2024. This would reflect an okay 7.6% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to rise 7.5% to CN¥3.34. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥23.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥3.33 in 2024. 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.
It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at CN¥76.68. 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 Huali Industrial Group at CN¥81.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at CN¥73.00. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Huali Industrial Group is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analysts are definitely expecting Huali Industrial Group's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 16% annualised growth to the end of 2024 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 9.7% per annum over the past three years.
