Following the latest results, Grenergy Renovables' eight analysts are now forecasting revenues of €438.5m in 2024. This would be a meaningful 20% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €409.3m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.77 in 2024. What's really interesting is that while the consensus made a slight bump in revenue estimates, it no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that revenues are now the focus of the business after this latest result.

The average price target rose 7.0% to €44.71, with the analysts clearly having become more optimistic about Grenergy Renovables'prospects following these results. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. The most optimistic Grenergy Renovables analyst has a price target of €70.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €30.00. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Grenergy Renovables' past performance and to peers in the same industry. The period to the end of 2024 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 43% growth on an annualised basis.
