Analyst Estimates: Here's What Brokers Think Of Viafin Service Oyj (HEL:VIAFIN) After Its Second-Quarter Report
Viafin Service Oyj (HEL:VIAFIN) came out with its second-quarter results last week, and we wanted to see how the business is performing and what industry forecasts think of the company following this report. It was an okay result overall, with revenues coming in at €29m, roughly what the analyst had been expecting. The analyst 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. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analyst latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, Viafin Service Oyj's single analyst currently expect revenues in 2026 to be €98.8m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analyst had been anticipated revenues of €98.4m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.42 in 2026. Overall, while the analyst has 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.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 1.8% by the end of 2026. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 9.8% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 5.7% annually for the foreseeable future. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - Viafin Service Oyj is expected to lag the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that the analyst reconfirmed their revenue estimates for next year, suggesting that the business is performing in line with expectations. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €21.50, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.
