TWSE:3017 Earnings and Revenue Growth March 15th 2025

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Asia Vital Components from twelve analysts is for revenues of NT$101.0b in 2025. If met, it would imply a huge 41% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 50% to NT$31.55. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of NT$96.0b and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$30.62 in 2025. It looks like there's been a modest increase in sentiment following the latest results, withthe analysts becoming a bit more optimistic in their predictions for both revenues and earnings.

Despite these upgrades,the analysts have not made any major changes to their price target of NT$778, suggesting that the higher estimates are not likely to have a long term impact on what the stock is worth. 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. There are some variant perceptions on Asia Vital Components, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at NT$888 and the most bearish at NT$625 per share. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Asia Vital Components shareholders.

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 Asia Vital Components' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 41% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 13% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 17% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Asia Vital Components to grow faster than the wider industry.
