It looks like the results were a bit of a negative overall. While revenues of CN¥50b were in line with analyst predictions, statutory earnings were less than expected, missing estimates by 6.0% to hit CN¥0.81 per share. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Following the latest results, China Oilfield Services' ten analysts are now forecasting revenues of CN¥52.4b in 2026. This would be a modest 4.2% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to climb 16% to CN¥0.93. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥53.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥0.97 in 2026. It's pretty clear that pessimism has reared its head after the latest results, leading to a weaker revenue outlook and a minor downgrade to earnings per share estimates. Check out our latest analysis for China Oilfield Services Despite the cuts to forecast earnings, there was no real change to the HK$10.30 price target, showing that the analysts don't think the changes have a meaningful impact on its intrinsic value. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values China Oilfield Services at HK$11.98 per share, while the most bearish prices it at HK$8.48. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view. Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that China Oilfield Services' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.2% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 15% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 6.7% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that China Oilfield Services is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants. ## The Bottom Line The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share 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. Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.
