Koskisen Oyj Just Missed Earnings - But Analysts Have Updated Their Models
As you might know, Koskisen Oyj (HEL:KOSKI) last week released its latest quarterly, and things did not turn out so great for shareholders. It wasn't a great result overall - while revenue fell marginally short of analyst estimates at €104m, statutory earnings missed forecasts by an incredible 44%, coming in at just €0.09 per share. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.
Following the latest results, Koskisen Oyj's dual analysts are now forecasting revenues of €400.1m in 2026. This would be a credible 3.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to plunge 29% to €0.07 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €413.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.20 in 2026. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a large cut to earnings per share estimates.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analysts have cut their price target 5.6% to €8.50.
Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. We would highlight that Koskisen Oyj's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 12% p.a. growth over the last three years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 2.2% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while Koskisen Oyj's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
The Bottom Line
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Koskisen Oyj. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, but the latest forecasts still imply the business will grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Koskisen Oyj's future valuation.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2028, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
