Biesse S.p.A. (BIT:BSS) Just Reported Earnings, And Analysts Cut Their Target Price
It's been a pretty great week for Biesse S.p.A. (BIT:BSS) shareholders, with its shares surging 12% to €5.60 in the week since its latest half-yearly results. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.
Following the recent earnings report, the consensus from twin analysts covering Biesse is for revenues of €628.6m in 2026. This implies a small 3.4% decline in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Before this earnings announcement, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €679.6m and losses of €0.093 per share in 2026. So we can see that while the consensus made a small dip in revenue estimates, it no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that the market is now more focused on revenue after the latest result.

Intriguingly,the analysts have cut their price target 20% to €6.00 showing a clear decline in sentiment around Biesse'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 Biesse's past performance and to peers in the same industry. One more thing stood out to us about these estimates, and it's the idea that Biesse's decline is expected to accelerate, with revenues forecast to fall at an annualised rate of 6.7% to the end of 2026. This tops off a historical decline of 2.8% a year over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for companies in the broader industry, which suggest that revenues (in aggregate) are expected to grow 7.2% annually. So while a broad number of companies are forecast to grow, unfortunately Biesse is expected to see its revenue affected worse than other companies in the industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their revenue estimates for next year. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates it is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.
