Better Collective A/S Beat Analyst Estimates: See What The Consensus Is Forecasting For This Year

Last week saw the newest yearly earnings release from Better Collective A/S (STO:BETCO), an important milestone in the company's journey to build a stronger business. Revenues were €371m, approximately in line with whatthe analysts expected, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) crushed expectations, coming in at €0.53, an impressive 34% ahead of estimates. 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. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on Better Collective after the latest results.

Following the recent earnings report, the consensus from four analysts covering Better Collective is for revenues of €348.7m in 2025. This implies a perceptible 6.1% decline in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to accumulate 7.6% to €0.59. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €374.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.83 in 2025. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a large cut to earnings per share estimates.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analysts have cut their price target 22% to kr168. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Better Collective, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at kr239 and the most bearish at kr120 per share. With such a wide range in price targets, analysts are almost certainly betting on widely divergent outcomes in the underlying business. As a result it might not be a great idea to make decisions based on the consensus price target, which is after all just an average of this wide range of estimates.

Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 6.1% by the end of 2025. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 32% 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 13% per year. It's pretty clear that Better Collective's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Better Collective going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
