Marinomed Biotech AG (VIE:MARI) Analysts Are Cutting Their Estimates: Here's What You Need To Know
As you might know, Marinomed Biotech AG (VIE:MARI) recently reported its yearly numbers. Sales hit €11m in line with forecasts, although the company reported a statutory loss per share of €4.30 that was somewhat smaller than the analysts expected. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business.

Following the latest results, Marinomed Biotech's twin analysts are now forecasting revenues of €13.7m in 2023. This would be a substantial 21% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. The loss per share is expected to ameliorate slightly, reducing to €3.96. Before this earnings announcement, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €15.6m and losses of €3.08 per share in 2023. There's been a definite change in sentiment in this update, with the analysts administering a notable cut to next year's revenue estimates, while at the same time increasing their loss per share forecasts.
The consensus price target fell 13% to €58.80, with the analysts clearly concerned about the company following the weaker revenue and earnings outlook.
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. The period to the end of 2023 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 21% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 23% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 6.0% per year. So although Marinomed Biotech is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts increased their loss per share estimates for next year. They also downgraded their revenue estimates, although industry data suggests that Marinomed Biotech's revenues are expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Marinomed Biotech's future valuation.
Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2025, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
