OM:COOR Earnings and Revenue Growth October 28th 2024

After the latest results, the four analysts covering Coor Service Management Holding are now predicting revenues of kr13.0b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a reasonable 3.4% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to jump 110% to kr3.73. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr13.2b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr3.92 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a small dip in their earnings per share forecasts.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at kr59.50, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Coor Service Management Holding, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at kr62.50 and the most bearish at kr54.00 per share. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Coor Service Management Holding is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Coor Service Management Holding's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 2.7% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 6.0% 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 4.3% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Coor Service Management Holding is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Coor Service Management Holding. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Coor Service Management Holding. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
