News Flash: Analysts Just Made A Notable Upgrade To Their Fositek Corp. (TWSE:6805) Forecasts

Shareholders in Fositek Corp. (TWSE:6805) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts. The revenue forecast for this year has experienced a facelift, with analysts now much more optimistic on its sales pipeline.

After the upgrade, the five analysts covering Fositek are now predicting revenues of NT$16b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a major 93% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to shoot up 104% to NT$36.47. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of NT$14b and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$33.73 in 2025. Sentiment certainly seems to have improved in recent times, with a nice gain to revenue and a small increase to earnings per share estimates.

Despite these upgrades, the analysts have not made any major changes to their price target of US$30.61, suggesting that the higher estimates are not likely to have a long term impact on what the stock is worth. 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 Fositek, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$37.80 and the most bearish at US$27.36 per share. This shows there is still some diversity in estimates, but analysts don't appear to be totally split on the stock as though it might be a success or failure situation.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Fositek's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Fositek's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 93% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 28% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 12% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Fositek to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Fositek.

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 Fositek going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
