Inwido AB (publ) Just Recorded A 14% EPS Beat: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Next
Shareholders of Inwido AB (publ) (STO:INWI) will be pleased this week, given that the stock price is up 17% to kr171 following its latest quarterly results. Revenues were kr2.7b, approximately in line with expectations, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) performed substantially better. EPS of kr3.40 were also better than expected, beating analyst predictions by 14%. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are 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 estimates suggest is in store for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Inwido's three analysts is for revenues of kr10.4b in 2026. This would reflect a meaningful 9.3% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to surge 23% to kr11.19. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of kr10.3b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr10.91 in 2026. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Inwido's earnings potential following these results.

There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of kr219, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Inwido, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at kr235 and the most bearish at kr207 per share. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.
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. It's clear from the latest estimates that Inwido's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 20% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 2.9% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 7.1% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Inwido is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Inwido's earnings potential next year. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at kr219, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Inwido. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have forecasts for Inwido going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
