Yahoo Finance The TPXimpact Holdings plc (LON:TPX) Analysts Have Been Trimming Their Sales Forecasts
The analysts covering TPXimpact Holdings plc (LON:TPX) delivered a dose of negativity to shareholders today, by making a substantial revision to their statutory forecasts for this year. There was a fairly draconian cut to their revenue estimates, perhaps an implicit admission that previous forecasts were much too optimistic. The stock price has risen 4.9% to UK£0.42 over the past week. It will be interesting to see if this downgrade motivates investors to start selling their holdings.
Following this downgrade, TPXimpact Holdings' dual analysts are forecasting 2024 revenues to be UK£83m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. The loss per share is anticipated to greatly reduce in the near future, narrowing 75% to UK£0.052. Yet before this consensus update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of UK£97m and losses of UK£0.052 per share in 2024. So there's been quite a change-up of views after the recent consensus updates, with the analysts making a serious cut to their revenue forecasts while also making no real change to the loss per share numbers.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. These estimates imply that sales are expected to slow, with a forecast annualised revenue decline of 0.8% by the end of 2024. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 50% 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 7.3% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that TPXimpact Holdings' revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and the latest forecasts imply the business will grow sales slower than the wider market. Often, one downgrade can set off a daisy-chain of cuts, especially if an industry is in decline. So we wouldn't be surprised if the market became a lot more cautious on TPXimpact Holdings after today.
Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2026, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
