Analysts Have Made A Financial Statement On Poulaillon SA's (EPA:ALPOU) Full-Year Report
Last week saw the newest yearly earnings release from Poulaillon SA (EPA:ALPOU), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. It was an okay result overall, with revenues coming in at €117m, roughly what the analyst had been expecting. 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. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimate to see what could be in store for next year.

After the latest results, the one analyst covering Poulaillon are now predicting revenues of €123.2m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 5.6% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of €124.6m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.78 in 2025. So we can see that while the consensus made no real change to its revenue estimates, it also no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that revenues are what the market is focusing on after the latest results.
There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €6.90, with Poulaillon seemingly executing in line with expectations.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Poulaillon's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Poulaillon's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 5.6% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 12% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 3.2% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Poulaillon is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analyst reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. 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.
