Diös Fastigheter AB (publ) Beat Analyst Estimates: See What The Consensus Is Forecasting For This Year

Shareholders might have noticed that Diös Fastigheter AB (publ) (STO:DIOS) filed its annual result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 6.8% to kr72.05 in the past week. It looks like a credible result overall - although revenues of kr2.5b were what the analysts expected, Diös Fastigheter surprised by delivering a (statutory) profit of kr4.88 per share, an impressive 20% above what was forecast. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Diös Fastigheter's twin analysts is for revenues of kr2.62b in 2025. This reflects a modest 3.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to reduce 5.2% to kr4.63 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr2.61b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr6.27 in 2025. So there's definitely been a decline in sentiment after the latest results, noting the pretty serious reduction to new EPS forecasts.

The consensus price target held steady at kr87.50, with the analysts seemingly voting that their lower forecast earnings are not expected to lead to a lower stock price in the foreseeable future.

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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Diös Fastigheter's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 3.7% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 7.9% 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 4.8% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Diös Fastigheter is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Diös Fastigheter. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Diös Fastigheter's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
