Verbio SE (ETR:VBK) Just Released Its Full-Year Earnings: Here's What Analysts Think

Verbio SE (ETR:VBK) just released its latest full-year report and things are not looking great.

Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €1.82b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.49 in 2026.

The consensus price target was unchanged at €13.85, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on Verbio, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €16.80 and the most bearish at €9.80 per share. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.

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 Verbio's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 15% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 11% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 9.3% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Verbio to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Verbio following these results. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have forecasts for Verbio going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
