Last week saw the newest quarterly earnings release from United International Transportation Company (TADAWUL:4260), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. United International Transportation beat revenue forecasts by a solid 12% to hit ر.س630m. Statutory earnings per share came in at ر.س4.25, in line with expectations. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. We've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results.
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from United International Transportation's six analysts is for revenues of ر.س2.54b in 2026. This would reflect a notable 8.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to leap 23% to ر.س5.50. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ر.س2.55b and earnings per share (EPS) of ر.س5.52 in 2026. 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 ر.س90.23. 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 United International Transportation analyst has a price target of ر.س100.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ر.س80.00. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that United International Transportation is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.
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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that United International Transportation's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 6.8% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 20% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 3.0% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while United International Transportation's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share 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 ر.س90.23, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
