Results: ATRenew Inc. Exceeded Expectations And The Consensus Has Updated Its Estimates
AiHuiShou International Co. Ltd. RERE | 0.00 |
As you might know, ATRenew Inc. (NYSE:RERE) just kicked off its latest first-quarter results with some very strong numbers. ATRenew beat earnings, with revenues hitting CN¥6.2b, ahead of expectations, and statutory earnings per share outperforming analyst reckonings by a solid 13%. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from ATRenew's six analysts is for revenues of CN¥26.6b in 2026. This would reflect a meaningful 18% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to leap 34% to CN¥2.59. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CN¥26.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of CN¥2.62 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.
It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at US$7.13. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values ATRenew at US$8.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$5.55. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.
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. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 25% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 25% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 6.1% annually. So it's pretty clear that ATRenew is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$7.13, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
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. We have forecasts for ATRenew going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
