As you might know, NoHo Partners Oyj (HEL:NOHO) last week released its latest quarterly, and things did not turn out so great for shareholders. It wasn't a great result overall - while revenue fell marginally short of analyst estimates at €107m, statutory earnings missed forecasts by an incredible 69%, coming in at just €0.11 per share. 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've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results.

HLSE:NOHO Earnings and Revenue Growth August 9th 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from NoHo Partners Oyj's three analysts is for revenues of €429.5m in 2024. This would reflect a reasonable 6.4% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 187% to €0.59. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €433.4m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.64 in 2024. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a minor downgrade to their earnings per share forecasts.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at €9.90, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic NoHo Partners Oyj analyst has a price target of €10.80 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €9.00. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The period to the end of 2024 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 13% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 14% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 7.6% annually. So it's pretty clear that NoHo Partners Oyj is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €9.90, 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 NoHo Partners Oyj. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
