Napatech A/S (OB:NAPA) Just Released Its Third-Quarter Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates

Shareholders might have noticed that Napatech A/S (OB:NAPA) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 6.9% to kr25.70 in the past week. Revenues were kr.34m, with Napatech reporting some 2.8% below analyst expectations. Following the result, the analyst has updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimate to see what could be in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Napatech's sole analyst is for revenues of kr.335.0m in 2025. This reflects a huge 145% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Before this earnings announcement, the analyst had been modelling revenues of kr.326.0m and losses of kr.0.14 per share in 2025. The thing that stands out most is that, while there's been a small lift in revenue estimates, the consensus no longer provides an EPS estimate. This impliesthat revenue is more important following the latest results.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of kr37.02, with Napatech seemingly executing in line with expectations.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Napatech is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 105% annualised growth until the end of 2025. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 4.3% annual decline over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 2.7% per year. Not only are Napatech's revenues expected to improve, it seems that the analyst is also expecting it to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst upgraded their revenue estimates for next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at kr37.02, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.
