Following the latest results, Bank Polska Kasa Opieki's nine analysts are now forecasting revenues of zł15.8b in 2025. This would be a credible 6.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to decrease 2.2% to zł23.55 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of zł15.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of zł23.34 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of zł194, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Bank Polska Kasa Opieki at zł228 per share, while the most bearish prices it at zł173. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.

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. We would highlight that Bank Polska Kasa Opieki's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.8% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 18% 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) 2.9% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Bank Polska Kasa Opieki's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at zł194, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.
