Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from De'Longhi's seven analysts is for revenues of €3.72b in 2025. This would reflect a modest 6.3% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €3.71b and earnings per share (EPS) of €2.26 in 2025. Overall, while the analysts have reconfirmed their revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important after these latest results.

We'd also point out that thatthe analysts have made no major changes to their price target of €39.73. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values De'Longhi at €46.60 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €35.00. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.

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 De'Longhi's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 6.3% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 8.2% 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) 6.4% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while De'Longhi's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's expected to grow roughly in line with the industry.

The Bottom Line

The clear take away from these updates is that the analysts made no change to their revenue estimates for next year, with the business apparently performing in line with their models. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at €39.73, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
