Brokers Are Upgrading Their Views On Sabio Holdings Inc. (CVE:SBIO) With These New Forecasts

Shareholders in Sabio Holdings Inc. (CVE:SBIO) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts. The analysts greatly increased their revenue estimates, suggesting a stark improvement in business fundamentals. The stock price has risen 8.2% to CA$0.92 over the past week, suggesting investors are becoming more optimistic. Whether the upgrade is enough to drive the stock price higher is yet to be seen, however.

Following the upgrade, the current consensus from Sabio Holdings' dual analysts is for revenues of US$50m in 2023 which - if met - would reflect a major 43% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. The losses are expected to disappear over the next year or so, with forecasts for a profit of US$0.03 per share next year. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$36m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.019 in 2023. There has definitely been an improvement in perception recently, with the analysts substantially increasing both their earnings and revenue estimates.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Sabio Holdings'historical trends, as the 33% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2023 is roughly in line with the 36% annual revenue growth over the past three years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 16% annually. So it's pretty clear that Sabio Holdings is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for next year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for next year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. Given that the consensus looks almost universally bullish, with a substantial increase to forecasts and a higher price target, Sabio Holdings could be worth investigating further.

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 Sabio Holdings going out as far as 2023, and you can see them free on our platform here.
