Analysts Just Made A Major Revision To Their Wallbox N.V. (NYSE:WBX) Revenue Forecasts

The latest analyst coverage could presage a bad day for Wallbox N.V. (NYSE:WBX), with the analysts making across-the-board cuts to their statutory estimates that might leave shareholders a little shell-shocked. 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 Wallbox's four analysts is for revenues of €197m in 2025, which would reflect a notable 17% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Losses are predicted to fall substantially, shrinking 58% to €0.16 per share. Yet prior to the latest estimates, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €298m and losses of €0.15 per share in 2025. So there's been quite a change-up of views after the recent consensus updates, with the analysts making a serious cut to their revenue forecasts while also expecting losses per share to increase.

The consensus price target fell 25% to US$1.65, implicitly signalling that lower earnings per share are a leading indicator for Wallbox's valuation.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Wallbox's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Wallbox's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 14% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 33% 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 8.6% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while Wallbox's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to note from this downgrade is that the consensus increased its forecast losses next year, suggesting all may not be well at Wallbox. While analysts did downgrade their revenue estimates, these forecasts still imply revenues will perform better than the wider market. Furthermore, there was a cut to the price target, suggesting that the latest news has led to more pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business. Overall, given the drastic downgrade to next year's forecasts, we'd be feeling a little more wary of Wallbox going forwards.

Even so, the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for the value creation of shareholders. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Wallbox going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
