Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Sanmina from twin analysts is for revenues of US$8.10b in 2025. If met, it would imply a reasonable 3.2% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to accumulate 4.2% to US$4.72. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$8.19b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$4.78 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of US$88.50, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result.

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. It's clear from the latest estimates that Sanmina's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 6.5% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 3.8% p.a. over the past five years. Other similar companies in the industry (with analyst coverage) are also forecast to grow their revenue at 7.1% per year. Sanmina is expected to grow at about the same rate as its industry, so it's not clear that we can draw any conclusions from its growth relative to competitors.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$88.50, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

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 2026, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
