After the latest results, the twelve analysts covering Salvatore Ferragamo are now predicting revenues of €1.07b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 3.3% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €1.07b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.074 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.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €6.59, with Salvatore Ferragamo seemingly executing in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Salvatore Ferragamo at €8.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €4.90. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's clear from the latest estimates that Salvatore Ferragamo's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 3.3% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 0.4% 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 8.2% per year. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Salvatore Ferragamo is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

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.
