Yahoo Finance Need To Know: The Consensus Just Cut Its Sitio Royalties Corp. (NYSE:STR) Estimates For 2023
Market forces rained on the parade of Sitio Royalties Corp. (NYSE:STR) shareholders today, when the analysts downgraded their forecasts for this year. There was a fairly draconian cut to their revenue estimates, perhaps an implicit admission that previous forecasts were much too optimistic.
After this downgrade, Sitio Royalties' four analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$645m in 2023. This would be a sizeable 75% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Before the latest update, the analysts were foreseeing US$743m of revenue in 2023. The consensus view seems to have become more pessimistic on Sitio Royalties, noting the measurable cut to revenue estimates in this update.

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. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Sitio Royalties'historical trends, as the 75% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2023 is roughly in line with the 73% annual revenue growth over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue shrink 6.0% annually. So it's clear that not only is revenue growth expected to be maintained, but Sitio Royalties is expected to grow meaningfully faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their revenue estimates for this year. They're also forecasting for revenues to perform better than companies in the wider market. Given the stark change in sentiment, we'd understand if investors became more cautious on Sitio Royalties after today.
