After the latest results, the four analysts covering Arnoldo Mondadori Editore are now predicting revenues of €960.2m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a modest 2.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €960.4m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.26 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.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €3.11, with Arnoldo Mondadori Editore 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. The most optimistic Arnoldo Mondadori Editore analyst has a price target of €3.35 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €2.80. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Arnoldo Mondadori Editore is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.

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. We would highlight that Arnoldo Mondadori Editore's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.7% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 3.7% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 1.5% per year. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Arnoldo Mondadori Editore is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

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. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster 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.
