Check out our latest analysis for Keikyu There's been no real change to the average price target of JP¥1,575, with the lower revenue and higher earnings forecasts not expected to meaningfully impact the company's valuation over a longer timeframe. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on Keikyu, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥1,650 and the most bearish at JP¥1,500 per share. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects. 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 would highlight that Keikyu's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.5% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 4.5% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this to the 47 other companies in this industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenue at 2.1% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Keikyu's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's expected to grow roughly in line with the industry. The Bottom Line The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Keikyu following these results. They also downgraded their revenue estimates, although as we saw earlier, forecast growth is only expected to be about the same as the wider industry. Even so, earnings are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
