Bearish: This Analyst Is Revising Their RAK Properties PJSC (ADX:RAKPROP) Revenue and EPS Prognostications
The latest analyst coverage could presage a bad day for RAK Properties PJSC (ADX:RAKPROP), with the covering analyst making across-the-board cuts to their statutory estimates that might leave shareholders a little shell-shocked. Both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) estimates were cut sharply as the analyst factored in the latest outlook for the business, concluding that they were too optimistic previously.
Following the latest downgrade, the solo analyst covering RAK Properties PJSC provided consensus estimates of د.إ1.5b revenue in 2026, which would reflect a measurable 7.0% decline on its sales over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to grow 12% to د.إ0.12. Previously, the analyst had been modelling revenues of د.إ1.8b and earnings per share (EPS) of د.إ0.14 in 2026. It looks like analyst sentiment has declined substantially, with a substantial drop in revenue estimates and a real cut to earnings per share numbers as well.

The analyst made no major changes to their price target of د.إ1.79, suggesting the downgrades are not expected to have a long-term impact on RAK Properties PJSC's valuation.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that sales are expected to reverse, with a forecast 14% annualised revenue decline to the end of 2026. That is a notable change from historical growth of 32% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 10% annually for the foreseeable future. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - RAK Properties PJSC is expected to lag the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analyst cut their earnings per share estimates, expecting a clear decline in business conditions. Unfortunately the analyst also downgraded their revenue estimates, and industry data suggests that RAK Properties PJSC's revenues are expected to grow slower than the wider market. The lack of change in the price target is puzzling in light of the downgrade but, with a serious decline expected this year, we wouldn't be surprised if investors were a bit wary of RAK Properties PJSC.
With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for RAK Properties PJSC going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
