It's been a good week for Inwido AB (publ) (STO:INWI) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest third-quarter results, and the shares gained 4.1% to kr191. The result was positive overall - although revenues of kr2.3b were in line with what the analysts predicted, Inwido surprised by delivering a statutory profit of kr3.22 per share, modestly greater than expected. 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 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 Inwido's two analysts is for revenues of kr9.17b in 2025. This reflects an okay 5.6% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to soar 29% to kr12.03. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr9.21b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr12.09 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at kr208.

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. We would highlight that Inwido's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.4% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 8.0% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.2% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Inwido.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. 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 kr208, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

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. We have analyst estimates for Inwido going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
