The analysts covering Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (SZSE:002709) delivered a dose of negativity to shareholders today, by making a substantial revision to their statutory forecasts for this year. Both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts went under the knife, suggesting the analysts have soured majorly on the business. At CN22.23, shares are up 6.5% in the past 7 days. Investors could be forgiven for changing their mind on the business following the downgrade; but it's not clear if the revised forecasts will lead to selling activity. <\/p>\n
After this downgrade, Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology's 14 analysts are now forecasting revenues of CN16b in 2024. This would be an okay 5.4% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are supposed to sink 18% to CN0.81 in the same period. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CN20b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN1.51 in 2024. It looks like analyst sentiment has declined substantially, with a sizeable cut to revenue estimates and a large cut to earnings per share numbers as well. <\/p>\n

The consensus price target fell 8.3% to CN22.09, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading analyst valuation estimates. <\/p>\n
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2024 expected to display 5.4% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 46% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 17% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants. <\/p>\n
The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their earnings per share estimates, expecting a clear decline in business conditions. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and the latest forecasts imply the business will grow sales slower than the wider market. After such a stark change in sentiment from analysts, we'd understand if readers now felt a bit wary of Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology. <\/p>\n
