In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CHF2.57b and earnings per share (EPS) of CHF50.27 in 2025.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of CHF1,389, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Partners Group Holding at CHF1,550 per share, while the most bearish prices it at CHF1,200. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting Partners Group Holding's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 21% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 4.5% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 5.1% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Partners Group Holding to grow faster than the wider industry.

Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
