News Flash: Analysts Just Made A Notable Upgrade To Their Wirtualna Polska Holding S.A. (WSE:WPL) Forecasts

Celebrations may be in order for Wirtualna Polska Holding S.A. (WSE:WPL) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. The analysts have sharply increased their revenue numbers, with a view that Wirtualna Polska Holding will make substantially more sales than they'd previously expected. The stock price has risen 6.2% to zł89.10 over the past week, suggesting investors are becoming more optimistic. Whether the upgrade is enough to drive the stock price higher is yet to be seen, however.

After the upgrade, the three analysts covering Wirtualna Polska Holding are now predicting revenues of zł2.0b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a sizeable 25% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to bounce 41% to zł7.37. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of zł1.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of zł6.81 in 2025.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Wirtualna Polska Holding's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The analysts are definitely expecting Wirtualna Polska Holding's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 25% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 21% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 9.3% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Wirtualna Polska Holding to grow faster than the wider industry.

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.
