Bonia Corporation Berhad Just Missed EPS By 72%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next

The analyst might have been a bit too bullish on Bonia Corporation Berhad (KLSE:BONIA), given that the company fell short of expectations when it released its annual results last week. It wasn't a great result overall - while revenue fell marginally short of analyst estimates at RM377m, statutory earnings missed forecasts by an incredible 72%, coming in at just RM0.033 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analyst is forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company.

Following last week's earnings report, Bonia Corporation Berhad's sole analyst are forecasting 2026 revenues to be RM377.3m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory per-share earnings are expected to be RM0.033, roughly flat on the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of RM427.8m and earnings per share (EPS) of RM0.14 in 2026. It looks like sentiment has declined substantially in the aftermath of these results, with a real cut to revenue estimates and a pretty serious reduction to earnings per share numbers as well.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analyst has cut their price target 41% to RM0.69.

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. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 0.008% by the end of 2026. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 9.8% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 7.7% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that Bonia Corporation Berhad's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analyst reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Bonia Corporation Berhad. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analyst seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Bonia Corporation Berhad's future valuation.

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 analyst estimates for Bonia Corporation Berhad going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
