Need To Know: The Consensus Just Cut Its Checkin.Com Group AB (publ) (STO:CHECK) Estimates For 2024

June 14, 2024

One thing we could say about the analysts on Checkin.Com Group AB (publ) (STO:CHECK) - they aren't optimistic, having just made a major negative revision to their near-term (statutory) forecasts for the organization. Revenue estimates were cut sharply as the analysts signalled a weaker outlook - perhaps a sign that investors should temper their expectations as well.

Following the downgrade, the latest consensus from Checkin.Com Group's three analysts is for revenues of kr130m in 2024, which would reflect a credible 4.7% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to bounce 152% to kr0.26. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr150m and earnings per share (EPS) of kr0.26 in 2024. Indeed we can see that the consensus opinion has undergone some fundamental changes following the recent consensus updates, with a measurable cut to revenues and some minor tweaks to earnings numbers.

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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Checkin.Com Group's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2024 expected to display 6.3% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 39% over the past three years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 16% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Checkin.Com Group is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion from this consensus update is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with analysts holding earnings per share steady, in line with previous estimates. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and the latest forecasts imply the business will grow sales slower than the wider market. Overall, given the drastic downgrade to this year's forecasts, we'd be feeling a little more wary of Checkin.Com Group going forwards.

Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have estimates - from multiple Checkin.Com Group analysts - going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.

A landmark settlement is meant to punish Meta (META). If the 1998 tobacco deal is any guide, it might protect it.

Worth looking at what previous legal action actually did to Meta rather than reaching for tobacco. The FTC's record five billion dollar privacy fine in 2019 was met with the stock rising, because it came in below fears and removed an open question. GDPR was designed to constrain large platforms and increased their share of the European ad market, because compliance cost fell hardest on small intermediaries. The FTC's antitrust case, the one that could genuinely have broken the company up, was decided in Meta's favour last November. The only thing that ever meaningfully hurt the business was Apple changing a tracking default, and Meta out-spent that too, while the ad-tech firms that could not afford to rebuild disappeared. The pattern is not that Meta survives regulation. It is that regulation keeps costing its smaller competitors more.
