The analysts reconfirmed their price target of Ft1,703, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Magyar Telekom Távközlési Nyilvánosan Müködö Részvénytársaság at Ft2,100 per share, while the most bearish prices it at Ft377. We would probably assign less value to the analyst forecasts in this situation, because such a wide range of estimates could imply that the future of this business is difficult to value accurately. With this in mind, we wouldn't rely too heavily the consensus price target, as it is just an average and analysts clearly have some deeply divergent views on 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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Magyar Telekom Távközlési Nyilvánosan Müködö Részvénytársaság's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 3.6% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 9.1% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 2.0% per year. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Magyar Telekom Távközlési Nyilvánosan Müködö Részvénytársaság is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

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. 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.
