Analyst Estimates: Here's What Brokers Think Of Getlink SE (EPA:GET) After Its Interim Report
The half-year results for Getlink SE (EPA:GET) were released last week, making it a good time to revisit its performance. Results were roughly in line with estimates, with revenues of €824m and statutory earnings per share of €0.59. 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. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, Getlink's 13 analysts currently expect revenues in 2026 to be €1.72b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to reduce 4.0% to €0.58 in the same period. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €1.71b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.58 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of €19.60, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Getlink at €23.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €13.50. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.
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. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 1.4% by the end of 2026. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 12% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 3.4% per year. It's pretty clear that Getlink's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that Getlink's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at €19.60, 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 estimates - from multiple Getlink analysts - going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
