Revenue Beat: Nihon M&A Center Holdings Inc. Beat Analyst Estimates By 7.6%

Last week, you might have seen that Nihon M&A Center Holdings Inc. (TSE:2127) released its half-year result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 8.5% to JP¥727 in the past week. It was a workmanlike result, with revenues of JP¥23b coming in 7.6% ahead of expectations, and statutory earnings per share of JP¥34.54, in line with analyst appraisals. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of JP¥753, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. 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 Nihon M&A Center Holdings at JP¥820 per share, while the most bearish prices it at JP¥610. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that revenue is expected to reverse, with a forecast 0.8% annualised decline to the end of 2026. That is a notable change from historical growth of 5.7% 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 2.0% per year. It's pretty clear that Nihon M&A Center Holdings' revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider 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. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥753, 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 Nihon M&A Center Holdings. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
