Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that Pricol's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.0% annualised growth rate until the end of 2027 being well below the historical 22% p.a. growth over the last five years.

Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Pricol's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry.
