A week ago, Alliance Entertainment Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:AENT) came out with a strong set of quarterly numbers that could potentially lead to a re-rate of the stock. Alliance Entertainment Holding delivered a significant beat with revenue hitting US$279m and statutory EPS reaching US$0.15, both beating estimates by more than 10%. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. Readers will be glad to know we’ve aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on Alliance Entertainment Holding after the latest results.
Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
Following last week’s earnings report, Alliance Entertainment Holding’s dual analysts are forecasting 2027 revenues to be US$1.18b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to jump 66% to US$0.52. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$1.17b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.42 in 2027. Although the revenue estimates have not really changed, we can see there’s been a very substantial lift in earnings per share expectations, suggesting that the analysts have become more bullish after the latest result.

The consensus price target fell 13% to US$9.00, suggesting the increase in earnings forecasts was not enough to offset other the analysts concerns.
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. It’s clear from the latest estimates that Alliance Entertainment Holding’s rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 0.6% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2027 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 0.2% p.a. over the past three years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 3.4% annually. It seems obvious that, while the future growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, Alliance Entertainment Holding is expected to grow slower than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Alliance Entertainment Holding’s earnings potential next year. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than 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 Alliance Entertainment Holding’s future valuation.
With that in mind, we wouldn’t be too quick to come to a conclusion on Alliance Entertainment Holding. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year’s profits. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2028, which can be seen for free on our platform here.

Dividend or growth investing? It’s the wrong question
People often treat dividend and growth investing like a fork in the road, one or the other. But dividends, a rising share price and buybacks all contribute to your total return.
