SinterCast AB (publ) Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now
It's been a good week for SinterCast AB (publ) (STO:SINT) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest quarterly results, and the shares gained 2.4% to kr106. Revenues of kr27m were in line with forecasts, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in below expectations at kr0.82, missing estimates by 9.9%. 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've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results.
Following the latest results, SinterCast's twin analysts are now forecasting revenues of kr114.0m in 2026. This would be a decent 11% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to shoot up 52% to kr4.11. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of kr118.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of kr4.57 in 2026. From this we can that sentiment has definitely become more bearish after the latest results, leading to lower revenue forecasts and a substantial drop in earnings per share estimates.

Despite the cuts to forecast earnings, there was no real change to the kr105 price target, showing that the analysts don't think the changes have a meaningful impact on its intrinsic value.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analysts are definitely expecting SinterCast's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 24% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 1.4% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 7.8% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect SinterCast to grow faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for SinterCast. They also downgraded SinterCast's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have analyst estimates for SinterCast going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
