Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Napatech's one analyst is for revenues of kr.187.0m in 2025. This reflects a major 61% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Before this earnings announcement, the analyst had been modelling revenues of kr.335.0m and losses of kr.0.08 per share in 2025. Overall, while there's been a large cut to revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that after the latest results, the market believes revenue is more important.

We'd also point out that thatthe analyst has made no major changes to their price target of kr37.01.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. For example, we noticed that Napatech's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 61% growth to the end of 2025 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 6.3% a year 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 2.8% annually. So it looks like Napatech is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
