After the latest results, the eight analysts covering Intapp are now predicting revenues of US$260.5m in 2022. If met, this would reflect a modest 6.8% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Losses are forecast to balloon 27% to US$1.73 per share. Before this earnings announcement, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$250.8m and losses of US$1.75 per share in 2022.
The consensus price target fell 10% to US$36.38as the analysts signal that ongoing losses are likely to weigh on the stock price. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic Intapp analyst has a price target of US$45.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at US$30.00. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Intapp's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Intapp's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2022 expected to display 14% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 26% over the past year. Compare this to the 496 other companies in this industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenue at 15% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like Intapp is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts reconfirmed their loss per share estimates for next year. There was also an upgrade to revenue estimates, although as we saw earlier, forecast growth is only expected to be about the same as 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 Intapp's future valuation.
With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Intapp. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have estimates - from multiple Intapp analysts - going out to 2024, and you can see them free on our platform here.
