Consti Oyj Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now

Shareholders might have noticed that Consti Oyj (HEL:CONSTI) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 3.2% to €10.45 in the past week. Statutory earnings per share of €0.29 unfortunately missed expectations by 15%, although it was encouraging to see revenues of €91m exceed expectations by 2.8%.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Consti Oyj's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Consti Oyj's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 1.8% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 4.3% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 0.9% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Consti Oyj is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Consti Oyj. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €11.25, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
