SHSE:600872 Earnings and Revenue Growth October 28th 2024

After the latest results, the 19 analysts covering Jonjee Hi-Tech Industrial and Commercial HoldingLtd are now predicting revenues of CN¥6.20b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a major 21% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to dive 76% to CN¥1.13 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of CN¥6.22b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥1.12 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.

With the analysts reconfirming their revenue and earnings forecasts, it's surprising to see that the price target rose 7.1% to CN¥25.99. It looks as though they previously had some doubts over whether the business would live up to their expectations. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Jonjee Hi-Tech Industrial and Commercial HoldingLtd, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CN¥36.40 and the most bearish at CN¥17.50 per share. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. It's clear from the latest estimates that Jonjee Hi-Tech Industrial and Commercial HoldingLtd's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 16% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 2.5% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 11% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Jonjee Hi-Tech Industrial and Commercial HoldingLtd to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous 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.
