The Consti Oyj (HEL:CONSTI) Yearly Results Are Out And Analysts Have Published New Forecasts

Consti Oyj (HEL:CONSTI) last week reported its latest full-year results, which makes it a good time for investors to dive in and see if the business is performing in line with expectations. Revenues of €327m were in line with forecasts, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in below expectations at €0.88, missing estimates by 4.3%. 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. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, Consti Oyj's two analysts currently expect revenues in 2025 to be €327.5m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 9.7% to €0.99. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €327.6m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.04 in 2025. The analysts seem to have become a little more negative on the business after the latest results, given the small dip in their earnings per share numbers for next year.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at €11.50, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation.

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 0.2% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 3.0% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 4.6% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Consti Oyj.

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. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
