SEHK:2009 Earnings and Revenue Growth April 4th 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the three analysts covering BBMG provided consensus estimates of CN¥103.1b revenue in 2024, which would reflect a perceptible 4.5% decline over the past 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥109.2b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥0.10 in 2024. So we can see that while the consensus made a minor downgrade to revenue estimates, it no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that the market is now more focused on revenue after the latest result.

Intriguingly,the analysts have cut their price target 8.6% to HK$1.30 showing a clear decline in sentiment around BBMG's valuation. 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 BBMG at HK$1.99 per share, while the most bearish prices it at HK$0.59. With such a wide range in price targets, analysts are almost certainly betting on widely divergent outcomes in the underlying business. With this in mind, we wouldn't rely too heavily the consensus price target, as it is just an average and analysts clearly have some deeply divergent views on the business.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the BBMG's past performance and to peers in the same industry. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 4.5% by the end of 2024. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 4.3% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 2.4% per year. It's pretty clear that BBMG's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The clear low-light was that the analysts cut their forecast revenue estimates for BBMG next year. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply revenues will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.
