Pluxee N.V. (EPA:PLX) Interim Results Just Came Out: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For This Year

Shareholders will be ecstatic, with their stake up 22% over the past week following Pluxee N.V.'s (EPA:PLX) latest interim results. It was a credible result overall, with revenues of €635m and statutory earnings per share of €0.90 both in line with analyst estimates, showing that Pluxee 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. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

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

Following the latest results, Pluxee's 13 analysts are now forecasting revenues of €1.31b in 2025. This would be a satisfactory 4.9% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to bounce 27% to €1.43. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €1.31b and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.45 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.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of €25.57, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Pluxee, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €38.00 and the most bearish at €18.00 per share. This is a fairly broad spread of estimates, suggesting that analysts are forecasting a wide range of possible outcomes for the business.

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 analysts are definitely expecting Pluxee's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 10% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 8.3% per annum over the past year. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 17% annually. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Pluxee is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

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. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse 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. We have forecasts for Pluxee going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
