Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Sanara MedTech's lone analyst is for revenues of US$99.1m in 2025. This reflects a substantial 27% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share losses are expected to explode, reaching US$1.18 per share. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of US$96.2m and losses of US$1.17 per share in 2025.

The consensus price target fell 10% to US$44.00as the analyst signal that ongoing losses are likely to weigh on the stock price.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Sanara MedTech's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Sanara MedTech's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 21% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 40% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 8.2% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Sanara MedTech is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst reconfirmed their loss per share estimates for next year. Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting them to grow faster than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analyst also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2026, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
