Inwido AB (publ) Just Missed EPS By 42%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next

It's been a good week for Inwido AB (publ) (STO:INWI) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest first-quarter results, and the shares gained 2.5% to kr195. Revenue of kr2.0b surpassed estimates by 4.4%, although statutory earnings per share missed badly, coming in 42% below expectations at kr0.65 per share. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Inwido from two analysts is for revenues of kr9.27b in 2025. If met, it would imply a satisfactory 2.7% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to step up 17% to kr11.24. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr9.17b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr12.25 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a small dip in their earnings per share forecasts.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at kr233, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on 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. We would highlight that Inwido's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 3.6% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 7.0% 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 5.5% 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 biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Inwido. 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 kr233, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
