Eolus Vind AB (publ) Just Missed EPS By 56%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next

The analysts might have been a bit too bullish on Eolus Vind AB (publ) (STO:EOLU B), given that the company fell short of expectations when it released its quarterly results last week. Unfortunately, Eolus Vind delivered a serious earnings miss. Revenues of kr2.0b were 18% below expectations, and statutory earnings per share of kr3.60 missed estimates by 56%. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Eolus Vind's three analysts is for revenues of kr3.86b in 2025. This reflects a substantial 36% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 23% to kr13.64. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr3.73b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr15.23 in 2025. So it's pretty clear the analysts have mixed opinions on Eolus Vind after the latest results; even though they upped their revenue numbers, it came at the cost of a substantial drop in per-share earnings expectations.

There's been no major changes to the price target of kr107, suggesting that the impact of higher forecast revenue and lower earnings won't result in a meaningful change to the business' valuation.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Eolus Vind is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 51% annualised growth until the end of 2025. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 6.3% annual decline over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 4.3% per year. Not only are Eolus Vind's revenues expected to improve, it seems that the analysts are also expecting it to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. 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.

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. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Eolus Vind going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
