Analyst Estimates: Here's What Brokers Think Of ABC-Mart,Inc. (TSE:2670) After Its First-Quarter Report

Last week saw the newest first-quarter earnings release from ABC-Mart,Inc. (TSE:2670), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. It was a credible result overall, with revenues of JP¥98b and statutory earnings per share of JP¥52.31 both in line with analyst estimates, showing that ABC-MartInc is executing in line with expectations. 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.

After the latest results, the nine analysts covering ABC-MartInc are now predicting revenues of JP¥386.5b in 2026. If met, this would reflect an okay 3.4% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to accumulate 2.4% to JP¥187. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of JP¥386.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥187 in 2026.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of JP¥3,372, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. The most optimistic ABC-MartInc analyst has a price target of JP¥4,100 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at JP¥2,800. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

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 ABC-MartInc's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.6% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 12% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.4% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than ABC-MartInc.

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. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for ABC-MartInc going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here..
