The latest analyst coverage could presage a bad day for eREX Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9517), with the analysts making across-the-board cuts to their statutory estimates that might leave shareholders a little shell-shocked. Revenue estimates were cut sharply as the analysts signalled a weaker outlook - perhaps a sign that investors should temper their expectations as well.

Following the latest downgrade, the current consensus, from the dual analysts covering eREXLtd, is for revenues of JP¥149b in 2025, which would reflect a disturbing 33% reduction in eREXLtd's sales over the past 12 months. Before the latest update, the analysts were foreseeing JP¥173b of revenue in 2025. It looks like forecasts have become a fair bit less optimistic on eREXLtd, given the measurable cut to revenue estimates.

Notably, the analysts have cut their price target 6.5% to JP¥763, suggesting concerns around eREXLtd's valuation.

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 sales are expected to reverse, with a forecast 41% annualised revenue decline to the end of 2025. That is a notable change from historical growth of 26% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 10% per year. It's pretty clear that eREXLtd's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their revenue estimates for this year. They also expect company revenue to perform worse than the wider market. The consensus price target fell measurably, with analysts seemingly not reassured by recent business developments, leading to a lower estimate of eREXLtd's future valuation. Often, one downgrade can set off a daisy-chain of cuts, especially if an industry is in decline. So we wouldn't be surprised if the market became a lot more cautious on eREXLtd after today.

Of course, this isn't the full story. At least one of eREXLtd's dual analysts has provided estimates out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
