Just Missed EPS By 32%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next Last week, you might have seen that **Samsonite Group S.A.** (HKG:1910) released its quarterly result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 3.9% to HK$14.61 in the past week. Results overall were not great, with earnings of US$0.023 per share falling drastically short of analyst expectations. Meanwhile revenues hit US$829m and were slightly better than forecasts. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Following the latest results, Samsonite Group's 13 analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$3.60b in 2026. This would be a satisfactory 2.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 3.4% to US$0.20. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$3.56b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.21 in 2026. 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. Check out our latest analysis for Samsonite Group It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target fell 5.5% to HK$21.86, with the analysts clearly linking lower forecast earnings to the performance of the stock price. 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. The most optimistic Samsonite Group analyst has a price target of HK$26.11 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at HK$16.80. So we wouldn't be assigning too much credibility to analyst price targets in this case, because there are clearly some widely different views on what kind of performance this business can generate. With this in mind, we wouldn't rely too heavily the consensus price target, as it is just an average and analysts clearly have some deeply divergent views on the 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. We would highlight that Samsonite Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.8% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 15% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 8.4% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Samsonite Group. ## The Bottom Line The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Samsonite Group. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Samsonite Group's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Samsonite Group's future valuation. With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year.
