After the latest results, the consensus from thyssenkrupp nucera KGaA’s twelve analysts is for revenues of €892.4m in 2025, which would reflect a measurable 2.8% decline in revenue compared to the last year of performance. Statutory earnings per share are expected to crater 45% to €0.078 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €892.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.06 in 2025. Although the revenue estimates have not really changed, we can see there’s been a sizeable expansion in earnings per share expectations, suggesting that the analysts have become more bullish after the latest result.

The consensus price target was unchanged at €13.88, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders.

As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company’s valuation.

We would highlight that revenue is expected to reverse, with a forecast 3.7% annualised decline to the end of 2025. That is a notable change from historical growth of 29% over the last year. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 4.5% annually for the foreseeable future. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining – thyssenkrupp nucera KGaA is expected to lag the wider industry.
