Analysts Have Been Trimming Their Able Global Berhad (KLSE:ABLEGLOB) Price Target After Its Latest Report
Able Global Berhad (KLSE:ABLEGLOB) last week reported its latest yearly results, which makes it a good time for investors to dive in and see if the business is performing in line with expectations. Able Global Berhad beat revenue expectations by 2.9%, at RM729m. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in at RM0.22, some 2.7% short of analyst estimates. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year. See our latest analysis for Able Global Berhad Following the latest results, Able Global Berhad's twin analysts are now forecasting revenues of RM748.7m in 2025. This would be a reasonable 2.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory per share are forecast to be RM0.23, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of RM747.1m and earnings per share (EPS) of RM0.21 in 2025. Although the revenue estimates have not really changed, we can see there's been a nice increase in earnings per share expectations, suggesting that the analysts have become more bullish after the latest result. The average the analysts price target fell 12% to RM2.33, suggesting thatthe analysts have other concerns, and the improved earnings per share outlook was not enough to allay them. 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 Able Global Berhad's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.7% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 6.7% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 3.7% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Able Global Berhad is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants. The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Able Global Berhad following these results. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Able Global Berhad's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Able Global Berhad's future valuation. Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.

Is Now The Time To Put Teo Seng Capital Berhad (KLSE:TEOSENG) On Your Watchlist?
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. Loss making companies can act like a sponge for capital - so investors should be cautious that they're not throwing good money after bad. So if this idea of high risk and high reward doesn't suit, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Teo Seng Capital Berhad (KLSE:TEOSENG). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. View our latest analysis for Teo Seng Capital Berhad In the last three years Teo Seng Capital Berhad's earnings per share took off; so much so that it's a bit disingenuous to use these figures to try and deduce long term estimates. As a result, we'll zoom in on growth over the last year, instead. Impressively, Teo Seng Capital Berhad's EPS catapulted from RM0.17 to RM0.31, over the last year. It's not often a company can achieve year-on-year growth of 80%. Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. The good news is that Teo Seng Capital Berhad is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 15.5 percentage points to 27%, over the last year. Both of which are great metrics to check off for potential growth. You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. For finer detail, click on the image. Teo Seng Capital Berhad isn't a huge company, given its market capitalisation of RM729m. That makes it extra important to check on its balance sheet strength. It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. So it is good to see that Teo Seng Capital Berhad insiders have a significant amount of capital invested in the stock. Indeed, they hold RM89m worth of its stock. This considerable investment should help drive long-term value in the business. That amounts to 12% of the company, demonstrating a degree of high-level alignment with shareholders. Teo Seng Capital Berhad's earnings per share growth have been climbing higher at an appreciable rate. That EPS growth certainly is attention grabbing, and the large insider ownership only serves to further stoke our interest.

So based on this quick analysis, we do think it's worth considering Teo Seng Capital Berhad for a spot on your watchlist. Still, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Teo Seng Capital Berhad (including 1 which is concerning). There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares.
