Results: Comcast Corporation Beat Earnings Expectations And Analysts Now Have New Forecasts

Results: Comcast Corporation Beat Earnings Expectations And Analysts Now Have New Forecasts

業績:康卡斯特公司超出盈利預期,分析師現在有了新的預測
Simply Wall St ·  04/28 22:30

Last week, you might have seen that Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) released its quarterly result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 4.2% to US$38.57 in the past week. Comcast reported US$30b in revenue, roughly in line with analyst forecasts, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.97 beat expectations, being 6.8% higher than what the analysts expected. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

上週,你可能已經看到康卡斯特公司(納斯達克股票代碼:CMCSA)向市場發佈了季度業績。早期的反應並不樂觀,過去一週股價下跌4.2%,至38.57美元。康卡斯特公佈的收入爲300億美元,與分析師的預測大致一致,儘管法定每股收益(EPS)爲0.97美元,超出預期,比分析師的預期高出6.8%。根據結果,分析師更新了他們的盈利模式,很高興知道他們是否認爲公司的前景發生了巨大變化,或者業務是否照舊。因此,我們收集了最新的業績後法定共識估計,以了解明年可能會發生什麼。

NasdaqGS:CMCSA Earnings and Revenue Growth April 28th 2024
納斯達克股票代碼:CMCSA 收益和收入增長 2024 年 4 月 28 日

Taking into account the latest results, Comcast's 28 analysts currently expect revenues in 2024 to be US$124.2b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory per share are forecast to be US$3.89, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$124.2b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$3.93 in 2024. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

考慮到最新業績,康卡斯特的28位分析師目前預計2024年的收入爲1242億美元,與過去12個月大致持平。預計法定每股收益爲3.89美元,與過去12個月大致持平。在本業績發佈之前,分析師一直預測2024年的收入爲1242億美元,每股收益(EPS)爲3.93美元。鑑於他們的估計沒有重大變化,共識分析師似乎沒有在這些結果中看到任何會改變他們對業務看法的內容。

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of US$48.50, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic Comcast analyst has a price target of US$56.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at US$42.00. With such a narrow range of valuations, the analysts apparently share similar views on what they think the business is worth.

分析師再次確認了48.50美元的目標股價,這表明該業務表現良好,符合預期。研究分析師的估計範圍,評估異常值與平均值的差異程度也可能很有啓發性。最樂觀的康卡斯特分析師將目標股價定爲每股56.00美元,而最悲觀的分析師則將其估值爲42.00美元。由於估值範圍如此狹窄,分析師顯然對他們認爲的業務價值有相似的看法。

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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Comcast's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2024 expected to display 2.5% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 4.1% over the past five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 3.2% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Comcast.

從現在的大局來看,我們可以理解這些預測的方法之一是看看它們如何與過去的業績和行業增長預期相比較。很明顯,預計康卡斯特的收入增長將大幅放緩,預計到2024年底的收入按年計算將增長2.5%。相比之下,過去五年的歷史增長率爲4.1%。相比之下,該行業的其他公司(根據分析師的預測),後者的總體收入預計每年將增長3.2%。因此,很明顯,儘管收入增長預計將放緩,但整個行業的增長速度預計也將超過康卡斯特。

The Bottom Line

底線

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

最明顯的結論是,該業務的前景最近沒有重大變化,分析師的收益預測保持穩定,與先前的估計一致。從好的方面來看,收入估計沒有重大變化;儘管預測表明它們的表現將比整個行業差。共識目標股價沒有實際變化,這表明該業務的內在價值與最新估計相比沒有發生任何重大變化。
