Industry Trends

Which industries have driven the changes within the Finnish Telecom sector?

Industry PE: Investors are most optimistic about the Entertainment industry even though it's trading below its 3-year average PE ratio of 38.0x. However analysts expect its future annual earnings growth (21%) to be largely in line with prior year's earnings growth, so the market might believe analysts are underestimating its future growth since investors are willing to pay a bigger premium today. Meanwhile, investors are most pessimistic about the Media industry, which is trading below its 3-year average of 18.4x.

Forecasted Growth: Analysts are most optimistic on the Entertainment industry, expecting annual earnings growth of 21% over the next 5 years.
