It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at JP¥4,684. 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. The most optimistic Pan Pacific International Holdings analyst has a price target of JP¥5,360 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at JP¥3,350. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. We would highlight that Pan Pacific International Holdings' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.7% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 6.0% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 5.5% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like Pan Pacific International Holdings is forecast to grow at about the same rate as 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. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as 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.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Pan Pacific International Holdings going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
