Results: SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation Beat Earnings Expectations And Analysts Now Have New Forecasts

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (TSE:9412) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 3.8% to JP¥1,739 in the week after its latest half-year results. SKY Perfect JSAT reported JP¥34b in revenue, roughly in line with analyst forecasts, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) of JP¥27.54 beat expectations, being 8.1% higher than what the analysts expected. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.
