These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Thor Explorations' past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Thor Explorations' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 49% annualised growth rate until the end of 2024 being well below the historical 78% 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 15% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Thor Explorations is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market.
