Earnings Update: Skolon AB (publ) (STO:SKOLON) Just Reported Its Third-Quarter Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Forecasts
The quarterly results for Skolon AB (publ) (STO:SKOLON) were released last week, making it a good time to revisit its performance. Revenues were kr69m, with Skolon reporting some 7.7% below analyst expectations. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analyst is forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimate suggests is in store for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Skolon from one analyst is for revenues of kr345.0m in 2027. If met, it would imply a substantial 53% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of kr340.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of kr0.78 in 2027. So we can see that while the consensus made no real change to its revenue estimates, it also no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that revenues are what the market is focusing on after the latest results.
