Analysts Have Made A Financial Statement On HKFoods Oyj's (HEL:HKFOODS) Third-Quarter Report

Last week, you might have seen that HKFoods Oyj (HEL:HKFOODS) released its quarterly result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 3.6% to €1.63 in the past week. Revenues were €247m, with HKFoods Oyj reporting some 4.6% below analyst expectations. Following the result, the analyst has updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analyst is expecting for next year.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Following the latest results, HKFoods Oyj's single analyst are now forecasting revenues of €1.02b in 2026. This would be a satisfactory 3.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of €1.03b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.13 in 2026. Overall, while the analyst has reconfirmed their revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important after these latest results.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €1.80, with HKFoods Oyj seemingly executing in line with expectations.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the HKFoods Oyj's past performance and to peers in the same industry. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that HKFoods Oyj is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 2.5% annualised growth until the end of 2026. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 17% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 2.9% annually. So while HKFoods Oyj's revenues are expected to improve, it seems that it is expected to grow at about the same rate as the overall industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at €1.80, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.
