It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Ten Square Games 10% to zł644 on the back of these upgrades. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on Ten Square Games, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at zł774 and the most bearish at zł505 per share. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Ten Square Games' past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Ten Square Games' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues next year expected to grow 54%, compared to a historical growth rate of 138% over the past year. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 4.4% next year. So it's pretty clear that, while Ten Square Games' revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for this year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with analysts apparently feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Ten Square Games.
