Following last week's earnings report, Moulinvest's one analyst are forecasting 2025 revenues to be €92.7m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Moulinvest is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of €0.52 per share. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of €91.5m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.42 in 2025. There was no real change to the revenue estimates, but the analyst does seem more bullish on earnings, given the considerable lift to earnings per share expectations following these results.

There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of €25.00, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 0.9% by the end of 2025. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 9.6% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 4.3% per year. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - Moulinvest is expected to lag the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Moulinvest's earnings potential next year. 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.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Moulinvest. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have analyst estimates for Moulinvest going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
