Gaming Innovation Group is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of €0.078 per share.

The average the analysts price target fell 8.0% to kr29.22, suggesting thatthe analysts have other concerns, and the improved earnings per share outlook was not enough to allay them.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Gaming Innovation Group is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 2.6% annualised growth until the end of 2022. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 10% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 12% annually for the foreseeable future. So although Gaming Innovation Group's revenue growth is expected to improve, it is still expected to grow slower than the industry.

Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting sales are tracking in line with expectations - although our data does suggest that Gaming Innovation Group's revenues are expected to perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.
