Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Puuilo Oyj's four analysts is for revenues of €392.2m in 2025. This reflects a solid 16% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to shoot up 21% to €0.55. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €391.1m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.56 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

With the analysts reconfirming their revenue and earnings forecasts, it's surprising to see that the price target rose 7.1% to €10.00. It looks as though they previously had some doubts over whether the business would live up to their expectations.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 16% 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 8.5% annually. So it's pretty clear that Puuilo Oyj is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. 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.
