$IDEX - Ideanomics is expected to grow faster than its competitors.
Ideanomics, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDEX) shareholders will have a reason to smile, with the covering analyst making substantial upgrades to this year's forecasts. Consensus estimates suggest investors could expect greatly increased statutory revenues and earnings per share, with the analyst modelling a real improvement in business performance. The market seems to be pricing in some improvement in the business too, with the stock up 9.7% over the past week. Could this big upgrade push the stock even higher?
Following the upgrade, the current consensus from analysts is for revenues of US$129m in 2021 which - if met - would reflect a substantial 119% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. The loss per share is anticipated to greatly reduce in the near future, narrowing 84% to US$0.05. However, before this estimates update, the consensus had been expecting revenues of US$105m and US$0.11 per share in losses. We can see there's definitely been a change in sentiment in this update, with the analyst administering a sizeable upgrade to this year's revenue estimates, while at the same time reducing their loss estimates.
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. For example, we noticed that Ideanomics' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 184% growth to the end of 2021 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 2.6% a year over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 13% annually. Ideanomics is expected to grow faster than its competitors.
