Following the latest results, CSW Industrials' dual analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$839.6m in 2025. This would be an okay 5.9% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to soar 23% to US$8.07. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$831.5m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$8.23 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a minor downgrade to their earnings per share forecasts.
Despite cutting their earnings forecasts,the analysts have lifted their price target 18% to US$268, suggesting that these impacts are not expected to weigh on the stock's value in the long term.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that CSW Industrials' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 5.9% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 19% over the past five years. Compare this to the 49 other companies in this industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenue at 5.7% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like CSW Industrials is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for CSW Industrials. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.
With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for CSW Industrials going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
