This would reflect a reasonable 5.1% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to decrease 5.9% to €1.51 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €213.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.47 in 2025. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Nabaltec's earnings potential following these results.

The average the analysts price target fell 27% to €22.50, suggesting thatthe analysts have other concerns, and the improved earnings per share outlook was not enough to allay them. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic Nabaltec analyst has a price target of €25.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €20.00. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Nabaltec is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 4.1% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 5.1% annual growth over the past five years. Juxtapose this against our data, which suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 4.3% per year. It's clear that while Nabaltec's revenue growth is expected to continue on its current trajectory, it's only expected to grow in line with the industry itself.

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 Nabaltec following these results. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Nabaltec going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here..
