OVS S.p.A. (BIT:OVS) Full-Year Results: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For This Year
Last week saw the newest yearly earnings release from OVS S.p.A. (BIT:OVS), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. It was an okay result overall, with revenues coming in at €1.6b, roughly what the analysts had been expecting. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for OVS from four analysts is for revenues of €1.69b in 2026. If met, it would imply an okay 3.7% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €1.68b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.30 in 2026. 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.

We'd also point out that thatthe analysts have made no major changes to their price target of €4.24. 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. The most optimistic OVS analyst has a price target of €5.20 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €4.00. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that OVS' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 3.7% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 7.6% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 7.9% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that OVS is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. 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.
