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. The period to the end of 2023 brings more of the same, according to the analyst, with revenue forecast to display 4.6% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 3.9% 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 13% per year. So although AWC Berhad is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's forecast to grow slower than the wider industry.
