Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there’s been a strong change in the company’s prospects, or if it’s business as usual.

View our latest analysis for Bredband2 i Skandinavien
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Bredband2 i Skandinavien’s dual analysts is for revenues of kr1.69b in 2024. This would reflect a satisfactory 6.8% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to swell 18% to kr0.10. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of kr1.69b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr0.11 in 2024. So it looks like there’s been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results – there’s been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a small dip in their earnings per share forecasts.
It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at kr2.20, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation.
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 Bredband2 i Skandinavien’s revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.8% annualised growth rate until the end of 2024 being well below the historical 23% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 2.5% per year. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Bredband2 i Skandinavien is also expected 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 Bredband2 i Skandinavien. 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 kr2.20, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company’s earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Bredband2 i Skandinavien going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
