It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at JP¥3,539. 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. There are some variant perceptions on Kokusai Electric, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥4,600 and the most bearish at JP¥2,500 per share. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Kokusai Electric shareholders.

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. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Kokusai Electric is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 2.5% annualised growth until the end of 2026. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 3.4% annual decline over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 7.3% per year. So although Kokusai Electric's revenue growth is expected to improve, it is still expected to grow slower than the industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Kokusai Electric's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥3,539, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

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 Kokusai Electric going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here..
