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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values JB Hi-Fi at AU$80.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at AU$37.50. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of JB Hi-Fi'shistorical trends, as the 5.4% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 5.9% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 6.5% per year. So although JB Hi-Fi is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower than the wider industry.
