Industry Analysts Just Made A Meaningful Upgrade To Their VERBUND AG (VIE:VER) Revenue Forecasts

Celebrations may be in order for VERBUND AG (VIE:VER) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. The analysts have sharply increased their revenue numbers, with a view that VERBUND will make substantially more sales than they'd previously expected.

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

Following the upgrade, the latest consensus from VERBUND's seven analysts is for revenues of €8.5b in 2025, which would reflect a satisfactory 2.5% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Before the latest update, the analysts were foreseeing €7.4b of revenue in 2025. It looks like there's been a clear increase in optimism around VERBUND, given the nice increase in revenue forecasts.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that VERBUND's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.5% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 22% 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 1.9% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that VERBUND is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The highlight for us was that analysts increased their revenue forecasts for VERBUND this year. They're also forecasting more rapid revenue growth than the wider market. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at VERBUND.
