Big companies stepped on the brakes again
The financial expectations of domestic companies have been on the decline since the end of last year. Sales expectations fell by 3 and profit expectations fell by 3.3 percentage points, so companies expect an average increase in sales of only 1 percent and a decrease in profit of 1.5 percent in the next one year. According to the K&H large company growth index. However, the size of the company and the range of activities greatly influence the expected financial results: the expectations of smaller companies and the service sector are more favorable.
Large companies barely got over the pessimism caused by the coronavirus epidemic, and their financial expectations fell again. This is shown by the latest K&H large company growth index, which examines the expectations for the next 12 months of Hungarian companies with a turnover of over two billion forints every quarter.
“Based on the data for the second quarter, the companies expect a sales increase of only 1 percent, which is a spectacular drop compared to the 3-4 percent values typical of the past year. Companies were more pessimistic than this only 2 years ago, at the beginning of the coronavirus, when they expected a drop in income. In terms of profit, the estimates are even more cautious. The companies did not expect particularly high profit growth (1-2%) in the past year either, but now the indicator has turned negative, and they expect a 1.5 percent decrease in profit in the next year,”
Gábor Rajna, K&H Business Clients Division, detailed the results. its leader.
