Following the upgrade, the latest consensus from Ambea's two analysts is for revenues of kr26b in 2027, which would reflect a substantial 53% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 28% to kr12.53. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr18b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr12.53 in 2027.

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. The analysts are definitely expecting Ambea's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 40% annualised growth to the end of 2027 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 8.1% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 9.5% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Ambea to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion from this consensus update is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with analysts holding earnings per share steady, in line with previous estimates. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. Seeing the dramatic upgrade to next year's forecasts, it might be time to take another look at Ambea.

Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Ambea going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
