Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from FRP Advisory Group's six analysts is for revenues of UK£109.2m in 2024. This reflects a satisfactory 5.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to shoot up 22% to UK£0.067. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of UK£108.6m and earnings per share (EPS) of UK£0.067 in 2024. 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 UK£1.79, 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values FRP Advisory Group at UK£2.07 per share, while the most bearish prices it at UK£1.60. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.
Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that FRP Advisory Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 5.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2024 being well below the historical 17% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 1.7% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while FRP Advisory Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
