Elisa Oyj (HEL:ELISA) Just Released Its First-Quarter Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates

Last week saw the newest first-quarter earnings release from Elisa Oyj (HEL:ELISA), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. It was a credible result overall, with revenues of €556m and statutory earnings per share of €0.56 both in line with analyst estimates, showing that Elisa Oyj is executing in line with expectations. 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. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

After the latest results, the 15 analysts covering Elisa Oyj are now predicting revenues of €2.28b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a modest 3.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to increase 7.1% to €2.44. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €2.28b and earnings per share (EPS) of €2.48 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at €47.59. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Elisa Oyj at €65.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €37.00. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Elisa Oyj shareholders.

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 4.0% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 3.8% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 2.5% annually. So although Elisa Oyj is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous 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. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Elisa Oyj going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
