Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For Fraport AG (ETR:FRA) After Its First-Quarter Results

Last week saw the newest quarterly earnings release from Fraport AG (ETR:FRA), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. Fraport reported revenues of €869m, in line with expectations, but it unfortunately also reported (statutory) losses of €0.18 per share, which were slightly larger than expected.

Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €4.41b and earnings per share (EPS) of €4.72 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at €64.24. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on Fraport, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €90.00 and the most bearish at €40.00 per share. 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. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 1.5% by the end of 2025. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 17% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 3.6% per year. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - Fraport is expected to lag the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €64.24, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Fraport. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Fraport going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
