We'd point out that there was no major changes to their price target of RM1.43, suggesting the latest estimates were not enough to shift their view on the value of the business.

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. We would highlight that Kumpulan Kitacon Berhad's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 15% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 29% p.a. growth over the last three years. Compare this to the 92 other companies in this industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenue at 15% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Kumpulan Kitacon Berhad's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's expected to grow roughly in line with the industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst cut their revenue estimates for this year. They're also forecasting for revenues to grow at about the same rate as companies in the wider market. Overall, given the drastic downgrade to this year's forecasts, we'd be feeling a little more wary of Kumpulan Kitacon Berhad going forwards.
