The analysts reconfirmed their price target of JP¥4,400, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Kamigumi at JP¥4,600 per share, while the most bearish prices it at JP¥4,200. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Kamigumi is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Kamigumi's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The analysts are definitely expecting Kamigumi's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 0.9% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 0.6% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 5.8% annually. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Kamigumi is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

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.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have forecasts for Kamigumi going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
