After the latest results, the sole analyst covering Wulff-Yhtiöt Oyj are now predicting revenues of €110.0m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a solid 12% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to dip 2.2% to €0.33 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analyst had been anticipated revenues of €110.1m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.32 in 2025. The analyst seem to have become more bullish on the business, judging by their new earnings per share estimates.

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. We would highlight that Wulff-Yhtiöt Oyj's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 9.8% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 13% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 1.8% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Wulff-Yhtiöt Oyj is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
