Endeavour Silver Corp. Just Missed Earnings With A Surprise Loss - Here Are Analysts Latest Forecasts
Last week saw the newest first-quarter earnings release from Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSE:EDR), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. Revenues of US$62m beat expectations by 3.5%. Unfortunately statutory earnings per share (EPS) fell well short of the mark, turning in a loss of US$0.13 compared to previous analyst expectations of a profit. 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.

In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of US$374.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.15 in 2025.

The consensus price target was unchanged at CA$7.75, suggesting the business is performing roughly in line with expectations, despite some adjustments to profit and revenue forecasts. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. There are some variant perceptions on Endeavour Silver, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CA$9.00 and the most bearish at CA$7.25 per share. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Endeavour Silver is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.
Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The analysts are definitely expecting Endeavour Silver's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 115% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 13% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 14% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Endeavour Silver is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Endeavour Silver. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at CA$7.75, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
