DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft (VIE:DOC) Yearly Results Just Came Out: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For This Year

Shareholders might have noticed that DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft (VIE:DOC) filed its full-year result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 2.2% to €171 in the past week. The result was positive overall - although revenues of €2.3b were in line with what the analysts predicted, DO & CO surprised by delivering a statutory profit of €8.41 per share, modestly greater than expected. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

After the latest results, the five analysts covering DO & CO are now predicting revenues of €2.48b in 2026. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 7.9% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to ascend 13% to €9.48. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €2.44b and earnings per share (EPS) of €9.39 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of €204, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic DO & CO analyst has a price target of €225 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €167. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that DO & CO's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 7.9% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 34% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 4.0% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that DO & CO is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have forecasts for DO & CO going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
