Analysts Have Been Trimming Their Fondia Oyj (HEL:FONDIA) Price Target After Its Latest Report
As you might know, Fondia Oyj (HEL:FONDIA) recently reported its quarterly numbers. Revenues were €6.7m, with Fondia Oyj reporting some 4.3% below analyst expectations. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analyst is forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analyst is expecting for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Fondia Oyj's solitary analyst is for revenues of €27.0m in 2024. This would reflect an okay 2.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of €28.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.47 in 2024. Overall, while there's been a minor downgrade to revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important following the latest results.
Intriguingly,the analyst has cut their price target 6.7% to €7.00 showing a clear decline in sentiment around Fondia Oyj's valuation.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Fondia Oyj'shistorical trends, as the 5.1% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2024 is roughly in line with the 5.3% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 5.2% annually. So although Fondia Oyj is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's only growing at about the rate of the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analyst downgraded their revenue estimates for next year. They also downgraded their revenue estimates, although as we saw earlier, forecast growth is only expected to be about the same as the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analyst seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Fondia Oyj's future valuation.
