For example, we noticed that Koskisen Oyj's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 13% growth to the end of 2025 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 8.2% a year over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 4.5% per year. So it looks like Koskisen Oyj is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
