Brokers Are Upgrading Their Views On HIAG Immobilien Holding AG (VTX:HIAG) With These New Forecasts

Shareholders in HIAG Immobilien Holding AG (VTX:HIAG) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.

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 most recent consensus for HIAG Immobilien Holding from its three analysts is for revenues of CHF178m in 2025 which, if met, would be a major 57% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to accumulate 8.9% to CHF9.01. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CHF157m and earnings per share (EPS) of CHF7.30 in 2025. So we can see there's been a pretty clear increase in analyst sentiment in recent times, with both revenues and earnings per share receiving a decent lift in the latest estimates.

Although the analysts have upgraded their earnings estimates, there was no change to the consensus price target of CHF114, suggesting that the forecast performance does not have a long term impact on the company's valuation.

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. It's clear from the latest estimates that HIAG Immobilien Holding's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 146% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 14% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue shrink 1.9% per year. So it's clear with the acceleration in growth, HIAG Immobilien Holding is expected to grow meaningfully faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. Fortunately, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. Some investors might be disappointed to see that the price target is unchanged, but we feel that improving fundamentals are usually a positive - assuming these forecasts are met! So HIAG Immobilien Holding could be a good candidate for more research.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have estimates - from multiple HIAG Immobilien Holding analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
