AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.

Following the downgrade, the most recent consensus for Taaleem Holdings PJSC from its dual analysts is for revenues of د.إ1.3b in 2026 which, if met, would be a decent 15% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are supposed to crater 21% to د.إ0.13 in the same period. Previously, the analysts had been modelling revenues of د.إ1.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of د.إ0.16 in 2026. Indeed, we can see that the analysts are a lot more bearish about Taaleem Holdings PJSC's prospects, administering a substantial drop in revenue estimates and slashing their EPS estimates to boot.

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. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Taaleem Holdings PJSC'shistorical trends, as the 15% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 is roughly in line with the 17% annual revenue growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 9.8% annually. So although Taaleem Holdings PJSC is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The biggest issue in the new estimates is that analysts have reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds lay ahead for Taaleem Holdings PJSC. Unfortunately, analysts also downgraded their revenue estimates, although our data indicates revenues are expected to perform better than the wider market. We wouldn't be surprised to find shareholders feeling a bit shell-shocked, after these downgrades. It looks like analysts have become a lot more bearish on Taaleem Holdings PJSC, and their negativity could be grounds for caution.

Unfortunately, the earnings downgrade - if accurate - may also place pressure on Taaleem Holdings PJSC's mountain of debt, which could lead to some belt tightening for shareholders.
