Idun Industrier AB (publ) Just Beat EPS By 11%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next

Idun Industrier AB (publ) (STO:IDUN B) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 5.1% to kr350 in the week after its latest quarterly results. It looks like a credible result overall - although revenues of kr592m were in line with what the analyst predicted, Idun Industrier surprised by delivering a statutory profit of kr2.00 per share, a notable 11% above expectations. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analyst is 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 estimate suggests is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Idun Industrier's single analyst is for revenues of kr2.28b in 2025. This would reflect a satisfactory 2.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of kr2.29b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr4.75 in 2025. Overall, while the analyst has reconfirmed their revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important after these latest results.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that Idun Industrier's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 5.1% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 24% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 7.3% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Idun Industrier is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at kr414, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.
