It was overall a positive result, with revenues beating expectations by 6.7% to hit US$664m. Ubiquiti reported statutory earnings per share (EPS) US$2.98, which was a notable 16% above what the analyst had forecast.

Althoughthe analyst has upgraded their earnings estimates, there was no change to the consensus price target of US$344, suggesting that the forecast performance does not have a long term impact on the company's valuation.

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 would highlight that Ubiquiti's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 7.8% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 7.5% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Ubiquiti.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analyst upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Ubiquiti following these results. Fortunately, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, although our data indicates it is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$344, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Ubiquiti going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
