News Flash: Analysts Just Made A Notable Upgrade To Their Nimbus Group AB (Publ) (STO:BOAT) Forecasts

Nimbus Group AB (Publ) (STO:BOAT) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to this year's statutory forecasts. The consensus estimated revenue numbers rose, with their view now clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.

Following the latest upgrade, the two analysts covering Nimbus Group provided consensus estimates of kr1.7b revenue in 2023, which would reflect a discernible 3.5% decline on its sales over the past 12 months. Prior to the latest estimates, the analysts were forecasting revenues of kr1.5b in 2023. The consensus has definitely become more optimistic, showing a substantial gain in revenue forecasts.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. These estimates imply that sales are expected to slow, with a forecast annualised revenue decline of 3.5% by the end of 2023. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 25% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 8.7% per year. It's pretty clear that Nimbus Group's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away from this upgrade is that analysts lifted their revenue estimates for this year. They also expect company revenue to perform worse than the wider market. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Nimbus Group.
