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. The most optimistic Green Tea Group analyst has a price target of HK$13.36 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at HK$11.00. 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. Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's clear from the latest estimates that Green Tea Group's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 24% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 19% p.a. over the past three years.

It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Green Tea Group to grow faster 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 Green Tea Group's earnings potential next year. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving. Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider.
