These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the FinecoBank Banca Fineco's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that revenue is expected to reverse, with a forecast 2.7% annualised decline to the end of 2025. That is a notable change from historical growth of 14% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 3.1% annually for the foreseeable future. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - FinecoBank Banca Fineco is expected to lag the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €20.24, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
