Just Missed Earnings - But Analysts Have Updated Their Models There's been a major selloff in **Appier Group, Inc.** (TSE:4180) shares in the week since it released its annual report, with the stock down 21% to JP¥794. It was not a great result overall. While revenues of JP¥44b were in line with analyst predictions, earnings were less than expected, missing statutory estimates by 20% to hit JP¥25.14 per share. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year. AI is about to change healthcare.

TSE:4180 Earnings and Revenue Growth February 17th 2026 Following the latest results, Appier Group's six analysts are now forecasting revenues of JP¥54.0b in 2026. This would be a substantial 23% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 94% to JP¥48.59. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of JP¥55.3b and earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥52.50 in 2026. The analysts are less bullish than they were before these results, given the reduced revenue forecasts and the small dip in earnings per share expectations. View our latest analysis for Appier Group The consensus price target fell 8.4% to JP¥1,450, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Appier Group, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at JP¥1,800 and the most bearish at JP¥1,250 per share. 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. 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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Appier Group's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 23% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 30% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 9.9% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Appier Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself. ## The Bottom Line The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Appier Group. They also downgraded Appier Group's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster 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 Appier Group's future valuation. With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Appier Group. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
