Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Elm from seven analysts is for revenues of ر.س9.38b in 2025. If met, it would imply a huge 27% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to ascend 16% to ر.س27.23. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ر.س8.73b and earnings per share (EPS) of ر.س26.59 in 2025. So there seems to have been a moderate uplift in sentiment following the latest results, given the upgrades to both revenue and earnings per share forecasts for next year.

Despite these upgrades,the analysts have not made any major changes to their price target of ر.س1,225, suggesting that the higher estimates are not likely to have a long term impact on what the stock is worth. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic Elm analyst has a price target of ر.س1,500 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ر.س923. 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.

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 can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Elm'shistorical trends, as the 27% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 23% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 8.7% annually. So although Elm is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Elm's earnings potential next year. Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting them 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.
