Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Vente-Unique.com's single analyst is for revenues of €199.5m in 2025. This would reflect a decent 12% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analyst had been anticipated revenues of €199.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.05 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.

The average price target fell 5.5% to €17.20, withthe analyst clearly having become less optimistic about Vente-Unique.com'sprospects following its latest earnings.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Vente-Unique.com's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Vente-Unique.com's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 12% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 8.9% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 5.7% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analyst also expect Vente-Unique.com to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The clear take away from these updates is that the analyst made no change to their revenue estimates for next year, with the business apparently performing in line with their models. 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. Furthermore, the analyst also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.
