Downgrade: Here's How Analysts See V.S. Industry Berhad (KLSE:VS) Performing In The Near Term

Market forces rained on the parade of V.S. Industry Berhad (KLSE:VS) shareholders today, when the analysts downgraded their forecasts for this year. Both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts went under the knife, suggesting analysts have soured majorly on the business.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Following the downgrade, the most recent consensus for V.S. Industry Berhad from its eleven analysts is for revenues of RM4.3b in 2026 which, if met, would be a notable 13% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to soar 260% to RM0.034. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of RM4.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of RM0.051 in 2026. It looks like analyst sentiment has declined substantially, with a measurable cut to revenue estimates and a pretty serious decline to earnings per share numbers as well.

The consensus price target fell 17% to RM0.71, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading analyst valuation estimates.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analysts are definitely expecting V.S. Industry Berhad's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 13% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 3.7% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 8.2% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect V.S. Industry Berhad to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest issue in the new estimates is that analysts have reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds lay ahead for V.S. Industry Berhad. Unfortunately, analysts also downgraded their revenue estimates, although our data indicates revenues are expected to perform better than the wider market. After such a stark change in sentiment from analysts, we'd understand if readers now felt a bit wary of V.S. Industry Berhad.

Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for V.S. Industry Berhad going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
