Results: Enento Group Oyj Beat Earnings Expectations And Analysts Now Have New Forecasts
It's been a good week for Enento Group Oyj (HEL:ENENTO) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest third-quarter results, and the shares gained 4.5% to €15.80. The result was positive overall - although revenues of €39m were in line with what the analysts predicted, Enento Group Oyj surprised by delivering a statutory profit of €0.29 per share, modestly greater than expected. 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. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their mind on Enento Group Oyj after the latest results.
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Enento Group Oyj's four analysts is for revenues of €164.4m in 2027. This would reflect an okay 4.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 82% to €1.14. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €163.6m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.12 in 2027.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of €19.53, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Enento Group Oyj at €22.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €17.00. With such a narrow range of valuations, the analysts apparently share similar views on what they think the business is worth.
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. For example, we noticed that Enento Group Oyj's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 3.6% growth to the end of 2027 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 1.9% a year over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 3.6% per year. So it looks like Enento Group Oyj is expected to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €19.53, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Enento Group Oyj going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here..
