There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €58.36, with Ströer SE KGaA seemingly executing in line with expectations. 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Ströer SE KGaA at €90.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €38.00. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business.

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 pretty clear that there is an expectation that Ströer SE KGaA's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 5.5% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 8.0% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 4.3% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Ströer SE KGaA is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €58.36, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
