SZSE:300442 Earnings and Revenue Growth April 21st 2024

After the latest results, the six analysts covering Range Intelligent Computing Technology Group are now predicting revenues of CN¥6.11b in 2024. If met, this would reflect a substantial 41% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to shoot up 32% to CN¥1.35. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CN¥6.04b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥1.34 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.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of CN¥32.52, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Range Intelligent Computing Technology Group at CN¥35.04 per share, while the most bearish prices it at CN¥30.00. With such a narrow range of valuations, the analysts apparently share similar views on what they think the business is worth.

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 Range Intelligent Computing Technology Group's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 41% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2024 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 27% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 19% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Range Intelligent Computing Technology Group 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. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider.
