In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of JP¥1.03t and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥140 in 2027.

See our latest analysis for Alps Alpine The consensus has made no major changes to the price target of JP¥2,180, suggesting the forecast improvement in earnings is expected to offset the decline in revenues next year. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Alps Alpine, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥2,900 and the most bearish at JP¥1,350 per share. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business. Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 0.6% by the end of 2027. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 6.4% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 7.9% per year. It's pretty clear that Alps Alpine's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry. The Bottom Line The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Alps Alpine's earnings potential next year. 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. Yet - earnings are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. The consensus price target held steady at JP¥2,180, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
