Acom reported in line with analyst predictions, delivering revenues of JP¥83b and statutory earnings per share of JP¥20.51, suggesting the business is executing well and in line with its plan. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

After the latest results, the four analysts covering Acom are now predicting revenues of JP¥334.2b in 2026. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 2.2% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 47% to JP¥49.92. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of JP¥333.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥49.37 in 2026.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of JP¥460, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. 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 Acom at JP¥470 per share, while the most bearish prices it at JP¥450. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Acom is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Acom'shistorical trends, as the 4.4% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 is roughly in line with the 4.5% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 5.5% per year. So although Acom is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower 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¥460, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have estimates - from multiple Acom analysts - going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
