News Flash: Analysts Just Made A Sizeable Upgrade To Their Tsumura & Co. (TSE:4540) Forecasts

Tsumura & Co. (TSE:4540) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to next year's statutory forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.

After this upgrade, Tsumura's three analysts are now forecasting revenues of JP¥182b in 2025. This would be a sizeable 23% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to jump 42% to JP¥313. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of JP¥162b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥218 in 2025. So we can see there's been a pretty clear increase in analyst sentiment in recent times, with both revenues and earnings per share receiving a decent lift in the latest estimates.

With these upgrades, we're not surprised to see that the analysts have lifted their price target 47% to JP¥4,793 per share.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Tsumura's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Tsumura's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 18% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 4.0% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 4.8% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Tsumura is expected to grow much faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for next year. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. With a serious upgrade to expectations and a rising price target, it might be time to take another look at Tsumura.
