This Broker Just Slashed Their Geo Energy Resources Limited (SGX:RE4) Earnings Forecasts
Market forces rained on the parade of Geo Energy Resources Limited (SGX:RE4) shareholders today, when the covering analyst downgraded their forecasts for this year. 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.
After the downgrade, the single analyst covering Geo Energy Resources is now predicting revenues of US$573m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a substantial 43% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to leap 140% to US$0.063. Previously, the analyst had been modelling revenues of US$860m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.13 in 2025. It looks like analyst sentiment has declined substantially, with a sizeable cut to revenue estimates and a large cut to earnings per share numbers as well.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analyst has cut their price target 9.1% to US$0.48.
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. The analyst is definitely expecting Geo Energy Resources' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 43% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 9.6% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue shrink 0.7% per year. So it's clear with the acceleration in growth, Geo Energy Resources is expected to grow meaningfully faster than the wider industry.
The most important thing to take away is that the analyst cut their earnings per share estimates, expecting a clear decline in business conditions. Sadly they also cut their revenue estimates, although at least the company is expected to perform a bit better than the wider market. With a serious cut to this year's expectations and a falling price target, we wouldn't be surprised if investors were becoming wary of Geo Energy Resources.
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 Geo Energy Resources going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.

Trump, Xi hold long-awaited phone call on trade war
US President Donald Trump held a long-awaited phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday as the leaders of the world's two biggest economies tried to avoid an all-out trade war. Trump said that the call reached a "very positive conclusion" and that they agreed to meet in person -- but Beijing issued a more muted readout saying that Xi spoke of a need to "correct the course" of ties. The call -- the first to be publicly announced since Trump returned to power in January -- comes after Beijing and Washington had accused each other of jeopardizing a trade war truce agreed last month in Geneva. "The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries," Trump said on Truth Social, adding that US and Chinese trade teams would hold a new meeting "shortly." "President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing," Trump added. Trump said they would announce the time and place of the "soon to be meeting" later. The two leaders did not, however, discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Trump said, despite long-standing US hopes that Beijing could exert influence on Moscow to end the war. "The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE," said Trump, adding that they hoped to have resolved issues over crucial rare earth minerals used in tech products. Relations between superpower rivals Beijing and Washington have been fraught ever since Trump in April introduced sweeping worldwide tariffs that targeted China most heavily of all. At one point the United States hit China with additional levies of 145 percent on its goods as both sides engaged in tit-for-tat escalation. China's countermeasures on US goods reached 125 percent. Trump had accused Xi as recently as Wednesday of being "extremely hard to make a deal with." Chinese state media said Trump had requested the call. There was no immediate confirmation from the White House. - 'Correcting the course' - In its more restrained readout, Beijing said that relations needed more work. "Correcting the course of the big ship of Sino-US relations requires us to steer well and set the direction, especially to eliminate all kinds of interference and even destruction, which is particularly important," Xi told Trump according to state news agency Xinhua. It said Xi told Trump he was welcome to visit China again -- following an earlier visit during his first term in 2017. Until Thursday, the two leaders had not had any confirmed contact more than five months since the Republican returned to power, despite frequent claims by the US president that such a call was imminent. Trump said in a Time Magazine interview in April that Xi had called him -- but Beijing insisted that there had been no call recently. Beijing and Washington agreed in Geneva last month to slash their staggeringly high tariffs for 90 days, but the two sides have since traded blame for derailing the deal. Trump argued last week that China had "totally violated" the agreement, without providing further details. China's commerce ministry hit back this week, saying the Trump administration had since introduced "discriminatory restrictive measures", including revoking Chinese student visas in the United States. Trump then dialed up tensions this week. "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" he posted Wednesday on his Truth Social platform. Washington has meanwhile targeted Chinese nationals who entered the United States both legally and illegally, with the president vowing to aggressively revoke Chinese student visas. Trump has separately ramped up tensions with other trade partners, including the European Union, by vowing to double global tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 percent from Wednesday. dk/md

Tariffs prompt record plunge in US imports
Goods brought into the US plunged by 20% in April, recording their largest ever monthly drop in the face of a wave of tariffs unleashed by US President Donald Trump. The retreat reflects the abrupt hit to trade, after firms had rushed products into the country earlier this year to try to get ahead of new taxes on imports Trump had promised. US purchases from major trade partners such as Canada and China fell to their lowest levels since 2021 and 2020 respectively, the Commerce Department said. The collapse helped to cut the US trade deficit - the gap between exports and imports - in goods by almost half, a record decline, according to the report. "The April trade report indicates the impact from tariffs has well and truly arrived," said Oxford Economics, while noting that the latest figures should be interpreted with caution, given the surge in activity earlier this year. Since re-entering office in January, Trump has raised import taxes on specific items such as foreign steel, aluminium and cars and imposed a blanket 10% levy on most goods from trading partners around the world. He had briefly targeted some countries' exports with even higher duties, only to suspend those measures for 90 days to allow for talks. Trump has said the moves are intended to rebuild manufacturing at home and strengthen its hand in trade negotiations. White House officials are now engaged in intense talks aimed at striking deals before that 90-day deadline expires next month. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump spoke by phone on Thursday to try to reach a breakthrough in those negotiations, as the fragile truce between the two sides showed signs of deteriorating. In a social media post, Trump said it had been a "very good phone call" focused on trade and that teams from the two sides would be meeting again shortly. State media in China reported that they had agreed to further talks and extended an invitation of a visit to Trump. Trump's barrage of tariffs have brought the average effective tariff rate in the US to the highest level since the 1930s, according to analysts. After a surge in activity earlier this year, the abrupt changes have led to a sharp slowdown in trade as firms weigh how to respond. In Mexico, the steel industry said its exports to the US had been cut in half last month. In Canada, the trade deficit hit an all-time high last month, widening to C$7.1bn, as exports to the US shrank for a third month in a row. Thursday's report from the US Commerce Department showed few categories of products were unaffected by the changes. Imports of passenger cars dropped by a third from March to April. Pharmaceutical products were hit and imports of most consumer goods also fell, including cell phones, artwork, furniture, toys and apparel. What tariffs has Trump announced and why? Trump tariffs get to stay in place for now. What happens next? What does the US-China tariff deal mean? But imports surged from Vietnam and Taiwan, which saw their exports briefly targeted with higher rates before Trump suspended those levies, according to the report. Despite the big monthly decline, overall US goods imports in the first four months of the year are up about 20% compared with the same period in 2024. Exports so far this year are up about 5% compared with 2024. The overall goods and services deficit in April was $61.6bn, down from $138.3bn in March.
