€38.90 - That's What Analysts Think STIF Société anonyme (EPA:ALSTI) Is Worth After These Results

Shareholders of STIF Société anonyme (EPA:ALSTI) will be pleased this week, given that the stock price is up 15% to €34.10 following its latest annual results. It was an okay report, and revenues came in at €61m, approximately in line with analyst estimates leading up to the results announcement. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

After the latest results, the two analysts covering STIF Société anonyme are now predicting revenues of €73.2m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a decent 20% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €69.5m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.67 in 2025. The thing that stands out most is that, while there's been a modest lift to revenue estimates, the consensus no longer provides an EPS estimate. This impliesthat revenue is more important following the latest results.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the STIF Société anonyme's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that STIF Société anonyme's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 20% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 73% growth over the last year. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 5.5% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while STIF Société anonyme's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts upgraded their revenue estimates for next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.
