NOS, S.G.P.S., S.A. (ELI:NOS) Third-Quarter Results: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For Next Year

Last week saw the newest third-quarter earnings release from NOS, S.G.P.S., S.A. (ELI:NOS), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. NOS S.G.P.S reported in line with analyst predictions, delivering revenues of €457m and statutory earnings per share of €0.54, suggesting the business is executing well and in line with its plan. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Following the latest results, NOS S.G.P.S' nine analysts are now forecasting revenues of €1.86b in 2026. This would be an okay 7.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to tumble 24% to €0.37 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €1.84b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.37 in 2026. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of €4.06, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values NOS S.G.P.S at €5.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €3.10. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 6.1% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 5.3% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 2.1% annually. So it's pretty clear that NOS S.G.P.S is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have forecasts for NOS S.G.P.S going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
