Industry Analysts Just Made A Stunning Upgrade To Their AL Sydbank A/S (CPH:ALSYDB) Revenue Forecasts

Celebrations may be in order for AL Sydbank A/S (CPH:ALSYDB) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. The analysts have sharply increased their revenue numbers, with a view that AL Sydbank will make substantially more sales than they'd previously expected.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Following the upgrade, the latest consensus from AL Sydbank's dual analysts is for revenues of kr.9.7b in 2026, which would reflect a sizeable 43% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to grow 17% to kr.53.13. Prior to this update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr.7.0b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr.54.03 in 2026. It seems analyst sentiment has certainly become more bullish on revenues, even though they haven't changed their view on earnings per share.

Analysts increased their price target 5.3% to kr.660, perhaps signalling that higher revenues are a strong leading indicator for AL Sydbank's valuation.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the AL Sydbank's past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that AL Sydbank's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 33% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 11% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 5.3% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect AL Sydbank to grow faster 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 analysts reconfirming that earnings per share are expected to continue performing in line with their prior expectations. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with analysts apparently feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving. Seeing the dramatic upgrade to next year's forecasts, it might be time to take another look at AL Sydbank.
