Mensch und Maschine Software SE (ETR:MUM) Analysts Just Slashed Next Year's Revenue Estimates By 11%

One thing we could say about the analysts on Mensch und Maschine Software SE (ETR:MUM) - they aren't optimistic, having just made a major negative revision to their near-term (statutory) forecasts for the organization. This report focused on revenue estimates, and it looks as though the consensus view of the business has become substantially more conservative.

Following the latest downgrade, the three analysts covering Mensch und Maschine Software provided consensus estimates of €245m revenue in 2025, which would reflect a disturbing 30% decline on its sales over the past 12 months. Prior to the latest estimates, the analysts were forecasting revenues of €276m in 2025. It looks like forecasts have become a fair bit less optimistic on Mensch und Maschine Software, given the substantial drop in revenue estimates.

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. We would highlight that sales are expected to reverse, with a forecast 25% annualised revenue decline to the end of 2025. That is a notable change from historical growth of 8.3% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 11% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that Mensch und Maschine Software's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their revenue estimates for next year. They're also anticipating slower revenue growth than the wider market. Overall, given the drastic downgrade to next year's forecasts, we'd be feeling a little more wary of Mensch und Maschine Software going forwards.
