Following the latest results, Becle. de's ten analysts are now forecasting revenues of Mex$51.8b in 2025. This would be a notable 17% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to shoot up 44% to Mex$1.75. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of Mex$51.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of Mex$1.75 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at Mex$39.21. 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. The most optimistic Becle. de analyst has a price target of Mex$49.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at Mex$34.00. 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 Becle. de 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. It's clear from the latest estimates that Becle. de's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 13% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 8.9% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 7.2% per year. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Becle. de is expected to grow much faster than its 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. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at Mex$39.21, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
