HLSE:SSH1V Earnings and Revenue Growth February 19th 2025

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for SSH Communications Security Oyj from one analyst is for revenues of €25.0m in 2025. If met, it would imply a decent 13% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. SSH Communications Security Oyj is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of €0.01 per share. Before this earnings announcement, the analyst had been modelling revenues of €27.0m and losses of €0.01 per share in 2025. While we note the minor downgrade to to the revenue outlook, the analyst is now also predicting for the business to become profitable next year - sooner than previously forecast - which looks like a pretty clear lift in expectations.

There's been a 13% lift in the price target to €1.80, with the analyst signalling that the higher earnings forecasts are more relevant to the business than the weaker revenue estimates.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of SSH Communications Security Oyj'shistorical trends, as the 13% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 13% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 13% annually. So although SSH Communications Security Oyj is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's only growing at about the rate of the wider industry.

derek_3wsdg on Teladoc Health ·

You’ve overlooked the activist investor factor. Travis Cocke’s Voss has announced 5% ownership through a 13G filing. They’ve added to that 5% since, and in doing so, have created a structural trap door for 27.42 Million Shares actively sold short. Chuck will announce lots of positives on July 29 but it’s what Voss announces shortly after that will rock the overextended Teledoc shorts. The Walmart partnership is the tip of the iceberg. The market is missing the sheer regulatory and enterprise friction of modern corporate healthcare. Teladoc isn't a "consumer app"; it is the primary digital infrastructure integrated directly into the legacy backends of Tier-1 insurance companies and fortune 500 employers, covering 105 million+ lives. Teladoc is acting as the digital top-of-funnel engine for the world's largest retailer. If Voss pushes the narrative that Teladoc is effectively the outsourced digital brain of Walmart's entire healthcare footprint, the fair value shifts from a basic health multiple to an enterprise distribution premium. Additionally , we are in a structural gold rush for high-quality, legally compliant, longitudinal medical data to train vertical healthcare AI models. Large technology hyperscalers and pharmaceutical giants cannot simply scrape the internet for this; they need structured clinical inputs. Teladoc sits on one of the largest de-identified virtual medical datasets on earth. From the activist playbook , we’ll see Voss demand the immediate creation of a Data & Diagnostics Licensing Division, transforming a legacy liability into an incredibly high-margin, pure-software data asset that requires zero human clinician hours to scale. Chuck is doing great work and deserves credi5 for the Teledoc turnaround but it will be Travis Cocke who will be responsible for a share price way beyond your $15 valuation.
