Pricer AB (publ) Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now

One of the biggest stories of last week was how Pricer AB (publ) (STO:PRIC B) shares plunged 26% in the week since its latest first-quarter results, closing yesterday at kr5.89. Things were not great overall, with a surprise (statutory) loss of kr0.04 per share on revenues of kr528m, even though the analysts had been expecting a profit. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Following the latest results, Pricer's twin analysts are now forecasting revenues of kr2.65b in 2025. This would be a decent 9.8% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to surge 48% to kr1.00. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of kr2.95b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr1.04 in 2025. It's pretty clear that pessimism has reared its head after the latest results, leading to a weaker revenue outlook and a minor downgrade to earnings per share estimates.

The consensus price target fell 16% to kr10.50, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates.

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 can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Pricer'shistorical trends, as the 13% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 15% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 7.4% annually. So although Pricer is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster 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. They also downgraded Pricer's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Pricer's future valuation.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Pricer going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
