After the latest results, the eight analysts covering CIMC Enric Holdings are now predicting revenues of CN¥27.1b in 2026. If met, this would reflect an okay 2.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to increase 9.5% to CN¥0.56. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of CN¥28.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥0.66 in 2026. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a real cut to earnings per share estimates.

The consensus price target fell 5.2% to HK$12.20, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. 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. The most optimistic CIMC Enric Holdings analyst has a price target of HK$14.41 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at HK$9.16. 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.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that CIMC Enric Holdings' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 4.1% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 9.9% over the past five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 13% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than CIMC Enric Holdings.

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. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have forecasts for CIMC Enric Holdings going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
