Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For Vitec Software Group AB (publ) (STO:VIT B) After Its Full-Year Results

The result was positive overall - although revenues of kr3.6b were in line with what the analysts predicted, Vitec Software Group surprised by delivering a statutory profit of kr10.96 per share, modestly greater than expected.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of kr454, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. 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. The most optimistic Vitec Software Group analyst has a price target of kr625 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at kr410. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Vitec Software Group's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 6.3% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 21% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 6.0% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like Vitec Software Group is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall 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.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Vitec Software Group. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
