After the latest results, the 17 analysts covering Tele2 are now predicting revenues of kr30.3b in 2025. If met, this would reflect an okay 2.3% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to climb 12% to kr6.20. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of kr30.3b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr6.19 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of kr123, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. The most optimistic Tele2 analyst has a price target of kr145 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at kr102. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 2.3% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 2.4% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry (in aggregate), which analyst estimates suggest will see revenues grow 3.0% annually. So it's pretty clear that Tele2 is expected to grow slower than similar companies in the same industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Tele2's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at kr123, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have estimates - from multiple Tele2 analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
