After the latest results, the sole analyst covering CombinedX are now predicting revenues of kr973.4m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a satisfactory 4.6% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 26% to kr3.50. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of kr981.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of kr3.67 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analyst did make a small dip in their earnings per share forecasts.

Despite cutting their earnings forecasts,the analyst has lifted their price target 7.4% to kr58.00, suggesting that these impacts are not expected to weigh on the stock's value in the long term.

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. We would highlight that CombinedX's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.6% annualised growth rate until the end of 2025 being well below the historical 15% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 3.5% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that CombinedX is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analyst believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.
