Currently, the most bullish analyst values NTG Nordic Transport Group at kr.400 per share, while the most bearish prices it at kr.335. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting NTG Nordic Transport Group is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.
