Notably, the analysts have cut their price target 17% to US$5.00, suggesting concerns around NewAge's valuation.
Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. Next year brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to grow 64%, in line with its 60% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 6.5% per year. So it's pretty clear that NewAge is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The highlight for us was that analysts increased their revenue forecasts for NewAge next year. They're also forecasting more rapid revenue growth than the wider market. The consensus price target fell measurably, with analysts seemingly not reassured by recent business developments, leading to a lower estimate of NewAge's future valuation. Seeing the dramatic upgrade to next year's forecasts, it might be time to take another look at NewAge.
