Following the result, the analyst has 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.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Lanson-BCC from lone analyst is for revenues of €261.0m in 2025. If met, it would imply an okay 2.2% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to decrease 8.8% to €3.27 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of €262.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of €4.04 in 2025. The analyst seem to have become more bearish following the latest results. While there were no changes to revenue forecasts, there was a substantial drop in EPS estimates.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at €42.00, with the analyst clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Lanson-BCC's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Lanson-BCC'shistorical trends, as the 2.2% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 2.2% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 3.1% per year. So it's pretty clear that Lanson-BCC is expected to grow slower than similar companies in the same industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Fortunately, the analyst also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Lanson-BCC's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €42.00, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
