Eclat Textile Co., Ltd. (TWSE:1476) Just Released Its Yearly Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates

It was a credible result overall, with revenues of NT$37b and statutory earnings per share of NT$24.20 both in line with analyst estimates, showing that Eclat Textile is executing in line with expectations. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Eclat Textile's 13 analysts is for revenues of NT$42.5b in 2025. This reflects a solid 15% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to step up 14% to NT$27.50. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of NT$42.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$27.08 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at NT$660. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. The most optimistic Eclat Textile analyst has a price target of NT$767 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at NT$570. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting Eclat Textile's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 15% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 4.2% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 12% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Eclat Textile to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous 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 NT$660, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Eclat Textile going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
