Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP provides drinking water and sewage services, deriving its revenue primarily from the volume of billed water and services and from tariffs approved by the regulator. In the fiscal Q1 2023 call, the company explained that its customer mix includes residential, commercial, industrial, and public categories, and that the recovery in industrial and public-sector consumption supported volume and revenue, while expansion opportunities include network expansion, loss reduction, water reuse, biogas projects, and waste-to-energy conversion.
In fiscal 2024, revenue reached $36.1 billion, gross profit $19.5 billion, net income $9.6 billion, and earnings per share 14.02; equivalent to a gross margin of approximately 54.0% and a net margin of approximately 26.6%. Compared with fiscal 2023, revenue increased by approximately 41.0% from $25.6 billion, gross profit nearly doubled from $9.5 billion, while net income rose from $3.5 billion to $9.6 billion.
In fiscal Q1 2024, SABESP recorded revenue of $6.6 billion, gross profit of $2.6 billion, net income of $823.3 million, and earnings per share of 1.20451; indicating a gross margin of approximately 39.4% and a net margin of approximately 12.5%. The provided statements do not break down revenue by customer category, but the fiscal Q1 2023 call showed that volume growth included water and sewage and the residential, commercial, industrial, and public categories.
The analyst consensus is neutral, and the average price target is $23.79, with the high and low targets nearly identical at $23.7946; therefore, the target range provides no meaningful diversity in analyst estimates. This target is more than three times the upper end of the 52-week range of $7.158, compared with a low of $4.376, a divergence that warrants caution when interpreting the target, particularly given the absence of a usable price-to-earnings ratio and the continued regulatory, overdue-receivables, currency, and interest-rate risks.
