Fielmann Group AG (ETR:FIE) Annual Results: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For This Year

It's been a pretty great week for Fielmann Group AG (ETR:FIE) shareholders, with its shares surging 20% to €52.50 in the week since its latest annual results. The result was positive overall - although revenues of €2.3b were in line with what the analysts predicted, Fielmann Group surprised by delivering a statutory profit of €1.81 per share, modestly greater than expected. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of €58.00, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation. 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Fielmann Group at €68.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €48.00. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Fielmann Group'shistorical trends, as the 9.0% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 9.2% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 6.6% per year. So it's pretty clear that Fielmann Group is forecast to grow substantially faster than its 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 Fielmann Group following these results. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
