Published
SEP:MONET

It's been a good week for MONETA Money Bank, a.s. (SEP:MONET) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest third-quarter results, and the shares gained 4.6% to Kč119. It looks like the results were a bit of a negative overall. While revenues of Kč3.2b were in line with analyst predictions, statutory earnings were less than expected, missing estimates by 9.7% to hit Kč2.50 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of Kč13.0b and earnings per share (EPS) of Kč10.51 in 2025.

Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting MONETA Money Bank is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself.
