Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Shindengen Electric ManufacturingLtd's two analysts is for revenues of JP¥109.8b in 2026. This would reflect a reasonable 5.7% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Shindengen Electric ManufacturingLtd is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of JP¥189 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of JP¥109.3b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥272 in 2026. So there's definitely been a decline in sentiment after the latest results, noting the pretty serious reduction to new EPS forecasts.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target fell 13% to JP¥3,500, with the analysts clearly linking lower forecast earnings to the performance of the stock price.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 4.5% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 4.4% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry (in aggregate), which analyst estimates suggest will see revenues grow 8.6% annually. So although Shindengen Electric ManufacturingLtd is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Shindengen Electric ManufacturingLtd's future valuation.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
