NasdaqCM:JRSH Earnings and Revenue Growth November 15th 2024

Following the latest results, Jerash Holdings (US)'s two analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$154.2m in 2025. This would be a notable 18% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Losses are predicted to fall substantially, shrinking 38% to US$0.18. Before this earnings announcement, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$142.3m and losses of US$0.32 per share in 2025. There's been a pretty noticeable increase in sentiment, with the analysts upgrading revenues and making a very promising decrease in loss per share in particular.

Yet despite these upgrades, the analysts cut their price target 5.6% to US$4.25, implicitly signalling that the ongoing losses are likely to weigh negatively on Jerash Holdings (US)'s valuation.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. It's clear from the latest estimates that Jerash Holdings (US)'s rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 40% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 9.2% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 6.0% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Jerash Holdings (US) to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that the analysts made no changes to their forecasts for a loss next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Jerash Holdings (US)'s future valuation.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
