Shareholders in Precision Tsugami (China) Corporation Limited (HKG:1651) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts. The analysts greatly increased their revenue estimates, suggesting a stark improvement in business fundamentals. The market seems to be pricing in some improvement in the business too, with the stock up 7.5% over the past week, closing at HK$10.60. Whether the upgrade is enough to drive the stock price higher is yet to be seen, however.

After the upgrade, the two analysts covering Precision Tsugami (China) are now predicting revenues of CN„4.0b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a substantial 28% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to soar 37% to CN„1.73. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CN„3.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN„1.38 in 2025. So we can see there's been a pretty clear increase in analyst sentiment in recent times, with both revenues and earnings per share receiving a decent lift in the latest estimates.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Precision Tsugami (China) 7.5% to CN„10.21 on 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Precision Tsugami (China) at CN„12.01 per share, while the most bearish prices it at CN„8.40. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting Precision Tsugami (China)'s growth to accelerate, with the forecast 28% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 11% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 13% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Precision Tsugami (China) is expected to grow much faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for this year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. With a serious upgrade to expectations and a rising price target, it might be time to take another look at Precision Tsugami (China).

Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2026, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
