Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting For SeSa S.p.A. (BIT:SES) After Its Yearly Results
SeSa S.p.A. (BIT:SES) shareholders are probably feeling a little disappointed, since its shares fell 5.9% to €90.10 in the week after its latest yearly results. It was an okay result overall, with revenues coming in at €3.6b, roughly what the analysts had been expecting. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.
After the latest results, the five analysts covering SeSa are now predicting revenues of €3.84b in 2027. If met, this would reflect a reasonable 6.1% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €3.80b and earnings per share (EPS) of €5.72 in 2027. Overall, while the analysts have reconfirmed their revenue estimates, the consensus now no longer provides an EPS estimate. This implies that the market believes revenue is more important after these latest results.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €119, with SeSa seemingly executing in line with expectations. 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 SeSa analyst has a price target of €130 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €105. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting SeSa is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.
Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that SeSa's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.1% annualised growth rate until the end of 2027 being well below the historical 11% p.a. growth over the last five years. Compare this to the 9 other companies in this industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenue at 5.5% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like SeSa is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €119, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
