Heritage Global Inc. Just Missed EPS By 50%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next
It's shaping up to be a tough period for Heritage Global Inc. (NASDAQ:HGBL), which a week ago released some disappointing third-quarter results that could have a notable impact on how the market views the stock. The analysts look to have been far too optimistic in the lead-up to these results, with revenues of (US$10m) coming in 22% below what they had expected. Statutory earnings per share of US$0.03 fell 50% short. 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. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.
對於Heritage Global Inc.(納斯達克股票代碼:HGBL)來說,這將是一個艱難的時期。一週前發佈了令人失望的第三季度業績,可能會顯著影響市場對該股的看法。分析師們在這些業績發佈之前似乎過於樂觀,營業收入爲1000萬美元,低於他們預期的22%。每股法定收益爲0.03美元,下降了50%。根據這一結果,分析師們已更新了他們的收益模型,了解他們是否認爲公司前景發生了顯著變化,還是一切如常,將很有意義。我們認爲讀者會發現看到分析師對明年最新(法定)業績的預測很有趣。
Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Heritage Global from twin analysts is for revenues of US$60.3m in 2025. If met, it would imply a sizeable 21% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to dip 5.3% to US$0.26 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$61.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.29 in 2025. The analysts seem less optimistic after the recent results, reducing their revenue forecasts and making a real cut to earnings per share numbers.
考慮到最新的業績,兩位分析師對Heritage Global的最新共識是2025年營收爲6030萬美元。如果達到這一目標,將意味着其過去12個月營收大幅增長21%。預計每股法定收益在同一期間將下降5.3%,達到0.26美元。在此報告發布之前,分析師們曾對2025年的營收爲6170萬美元和每股收益(EPS)爲0.29美元進行建模。最近的結果後,分析師們似乎變得更加悲觀,削減了他們的營收預測,並實際上減少了每股收益數據。
The analysts made no major changes to their price target of US$4.33, suggesting the downgrades are not expected to have a long-term impact on Heritage Global's valuation.
分析師們對Heritage Global的價格目標(4.33美元)未做重大變動,表明這些調降預期不會對Heritage Global的估值產生長期影響。
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Heritage Global's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Heritage Global's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 16% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 21% 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 5.7% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Heritage Global is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
這些估計數據很有趣,但在比較預測時,看待預測如何與Heritage Global過去的表現以及同行業競爭對手相比將會更有幫助。我們要強調Heritage Global的營收增長預計將放緩,到2025年底,預期的年化增長率爲16%,遠低於過去五年曆史的21%年化增長率。與之相比,此行業中其他有分析師覆蓋的公司預計年增長率爲5.7%。即使在增長預期放緩後,很明顯Heritage Global也預計將比整個行業增長更快。
The Bottom Line
最重要的事情是分析師增加了它對下一年每股虧損的估計。令人欣慰的是,營收預測未發生重大變化,業務仍有望比整個行業增長更快。共識價格目標穩定在28.50美元,最新估計不足以對價格目標產生影響。
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. They also downgraded Heritage Global's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$4.33, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
最重要的是,分析師們已經下調了每股收益預期,表明在這些結果發佈後情緒明顯下降。他們還下調了heritage global的營業收入預期,但行業數據顯示預計增長速度將快於整個行業。共識目標價保持在4.33美元,最新預測不足以對其價格目標產生影響。
