Koskisen Oyj Just Missed Earnings; Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now
Koskisen Oyj (HEL:KOSKI) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 9.1% to €6.78 in the week after its latest quarterly results. Revenues came in at €68m, in line with estimates, while Koskisen Oyj reported a statutory loss of €0.02 per share, well short of prior analyst forecasts for a profit. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. We've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Koskisen Oyj from twin analysts is for revenues of €326.0m in 2025. If met, it would imply a meaningful 17% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to leap 98% to €0.80. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €324.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.97 in 2025. The analysts seem to have become more bearish following the latest results. While there were no changes to revenue forecasts, there was a substantial drop in EPS estimates.
Althoughthe analysts have revised their earnings forecasts for next year, they've also lifted the consensus price target 7.1% to €7.50, suggesting the revised estimates are not indicative of a weaker long-term future for the business.
Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. 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.
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. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Koskisen Oyj going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
