BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings, Inc. (TSE:6183) Just Released Its First-Quarter Earnings: Here's What Analysts Think

BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings, Inc. (TSE:6183) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 5.0% to JP¥1,491 in the week after its latest quarterly results.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings' five analysts is for revenues of JP¥155.1b in 2025. This reflects a modest 6.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to soar 33% to JP¥114. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of JP¥155.2b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥116 in 2025. 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.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at JP¥1,878. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings at JP¥2,260 per share, while the most bearish prices it at JP¥1,600. 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 BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 8.2% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 4.8% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 5.9% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings is expected to grow much faster than its 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. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥1,878, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on BELLSYSTEM24 Holdings. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
