Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Cheffelo's dual analysts is for revenues of kr1.11b in 2025. This would reflect a modest 7.4% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to soar 41% to kr2.69. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr1.12b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr2.68 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.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of kr35.00, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations.

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. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Cheffelo is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 5.9% annualised growth until the end of 2025. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 6.7% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 2.2% annually. So it looks like Cheffelo is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
