There was no particular change to the consensus price target of US$18.86, with Realogy Holdings' latest outlook seemingly not enough to result in a change of valuation. 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 Realogy Holdings, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$24.00 and the most bearish at US$15.00 per share. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Realogy Holdings is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 18% annualised growth until the end of 2021. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 0.7% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 15% annually. So while Realogy Holdings' revenues are expected to improve, it seems that it is expected to grow at about the same rate as the overall industry.

The Bottom Line

The highlight for us was that analysts increased their revenue forecasts for Realogy Holdings this year. Analysts also expect revenues to grow approximately in line with 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 Realogy Holdings.
