ENXTPA:TFI Earnings and Revenue Growth February 18th 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from TF1's six analysts is for revenues of €2.36b in 2024. This would reflect a modest 2.8% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €2.35b and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.08 in 2024. Overall, while the analysts have reconfirmed their revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important after these latest results.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €10.42, with TF1 seemingly executing in line with expectations. 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. There are some variant perceptions on TF1, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €13.00 and the most bearish at €7.50 per share. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await TF1 shareholders.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The analysts are definitely expecting TF1's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 2.8% annualised growth to the end of 2024 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 1.5% per annum 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 8.5% per year. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, TF1 is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

The Bottom Line

The clear take away from these updates is that the analysts made no change to their revenue estimates for next year, with the business apparently performing in line with their models. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that TF1's revenue is expected to perform worse 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.
