Need To Know: One Analyst Is Much More Bullish On Green Landscaping Group AB (publ) (STO:GREEN) Revenues

Celebrations may be in order for Green Landscaping Group AB (publ) (STO:GREEN) shareholders, with the covering analyst delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. The consensus estimated revenue numbers rose, with their view now clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.

After the upgrade, the solo analyst covering Green Landscaping Group is now predicting revenues of kr5.4b in 2023. If met, this would reflect a huge 30% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to jump 71% to kr4.29. Before this latest update, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of kr4.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr4.12 in 2023. The most recent forecasts are noticeably more optimistic, with a nice gain to revenue estimates and a lift to earnings per share as well.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Green Landscaping Group's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Green Landscaping Group's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2023 expected to display 23% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 30% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.1% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Green Landscaping Group is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away from this upgrade is that the analyst upgraded their earnings per share estimates for next year, expecting improving business conditions. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for next year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. Given that the analyst appears to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Green Landscaping Group.
