Celebrations may be in order for Gubra A/S (CPH:GUBRA) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. Consensus estimates suggest investors could expect greatly increased statutory revenues and earnings per share, with the analysts modelling a real improvement in business performance. The market seems to be pricing in some improvement in the business too, with the stock up 5.7% over the past week, closing at kr.402. Whether the upgrade is enough to drive the stock price higher is yet to be seen, however.
Following the upgrade, the most recent consensus for Gubra from its three analysts is for revenues of kr.683m in 2026 which, if met, would be a substantial 152% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. The losses are expected to disappear over the next year or so, with forecasts for a profit of kr.7.45 per share this year. Yet before this consensus update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr.456m and losses of kr.4.28 per share in 2026. So we can see that this has sparked a pretty clear upgrade to expectations, with higher revenues anticipated to lead to profit sooner than previously forecast.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Gubra's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 5x annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 67% p.a. over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 10% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Gubra to grow faster than the wider industry.
The most important thing to take away from this upgrade is that there is now an expectation for Gubra to become profitable this year, compared to previous expectations of a loss. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. With a serious upgrade to expectations, it might be time to take another look at Gubra.
