Analysts Have Just Cut Their Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) Revenue Estimates By 12%

The analysts covering Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) delivered a dose of negativity to shareholders today, by making a substantial revision to their statutory forecasts for next year. There was a fairly draconian cut to their revenue estimates, perhaps an implicit admission that previous forecasts were much too optimistic.

Following the downgrade, the current consensus from Superior Industries International's twin analysts is for revenues of US$1.3b in 2025 which - if met - would reflect a satisfactory 3.8% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Before the latest update, the analysts were foreseeing US$1.5b of revenue in 2025. The consensus view seems to have become more pessimistic on Superior Industries International, noting the measurable cut to revenue estimates in this update.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Superior Industries International'shistorical trends, as the 3.0% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 2.8% annual revenue growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 9.2% per year. So although Superior Industries International is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their revenue estimates for next year. They're also anticipating slower revenue growth than the wider market. Often, one downgrade can set off a daisy-chain of cuts, especially if an industry is in decline. So we wouldn't be surprised if the market became a lot more cautious on Superior Industries International after today.
