Yokogawa Bridge Holdings Corp. Just Missed Earnings And Its Revenue Numbers Were Weaker Than Expected

Yokogawa Bridge Holdings Corp. (TSE:5911) last week reported its latest quarterly results, which makes it a good time for investors to dive in and see if the business is performing in line with expectations. Results look mixed - while revenue fell marginally short of analyst estimates at JP¥33b, statutory earnings were in line with expectations, at JP¥317 per share. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Yokogawa Bridge Holdings' twin analysts is for revenues of JP¥160.4b in 2026. This would reflect a satisfactory 2.2% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to drop 20% to JP¥247 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of JP¥161.0b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥250 in 2026. 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 JP¥2,925, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result.

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. We would highlight that Yokogawa Bridge Holdings' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 3.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 4.2% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 2.5% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while Yokogawa Bridge Holdings' revenue growth is expected to slow, it's expected to grow roughly in line with the 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. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥2,925, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Yokogawa Bridge Holdings going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
