We'd point out that there was no major changes to their price target of CA$1.85, suggesting the latest estimates were not enough to shift their view on the value of the business. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CA$2.10 and the most bearish at CA$1.75 per share. With such a narrow range of valuations, analysts apparently share similar views on what they think the business is worth.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2022 being well below the historical 47% p.a. growth over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue shrink 0.2% per year. So it's clear that despite the slowdown in growth, Tidewater Midstream and Infrastructure is still expected to grow meaningfully faster than the wider industry.
