ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now

Simply Wall St · 4d ago

Last week, you might have seen that ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (TWSE:2357) released its yearly result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 9.8% to NT$608 in the past week. It was not a great result overall. While revenues of NT$587b were in line with analyst predictions, earnings were less than expected, missing statutory estimates by 12% to hit NT$42.30 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

TWSE:2357 Earnings and Revenue Growth March 13th 2025

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from ASUSTeK Computer's eleven analysts is for revenues of NT$664.4b in 2025. This would reflect a notable 13% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to swell 12% to NT$47.17. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of NT$676.3b and earnings per share (EPS) of NT$47.97 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of NT$725, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. 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. There are some variant perceptions on ASUSTeK Computer, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at NT$814 and the most bearish at NT$410 per share. 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.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The analysts are definitely expecting ASUSTeK Computer's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 13% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 7.5% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 18% annually. It seems obvious that, while the future growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, ASUSTeK Computer is expected to grow slower than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at NT$725, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for ASUSTeK Computer going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
