Following last week's earnings report, SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings' three analysts are forecasting 2026 revenues to be JP¥124.7b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to accumulate 5.3% to JP¥69.73. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of JP¥124.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥69.43 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.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of JP¥1,187, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥1,210 and the most bearish at JP¥1,150 per share. With such a narrow range of valuations, the analysts apparently share similar views on what they think the business is worth.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings' past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's also worth noting that the years of declining revenue look to have come to an end, with the forecast stauing flat to the end of 2026. Historically, SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings' top line has shrunk approximately 3.4% annually over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 4.3% annually. Although SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings' revenues are expected to improve, it seems that it is still expected 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. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings' revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry.
