Analysts Have Made A Financial Statement On Telekom Austria AG's (VIE:TKA) Second-Quarter Report
Shareholders might have noticed that Telekom Austria AG (VIE:TKA) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 4.8% to €9.52 in the past week. It was a workmanlike result, with revenues of €1.4b coming in 4.6% ahead of expectations, and statutory earnings per share of €0.92, in line with analyst appraisals. 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. We've gathered the most recent statutory forecasts to see whether the analysts have changed their earnings models, following these results.
Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Telekom Austria from six analysts is for revenues of €5.70b in 2026. If met, it would imply a modest 2.1% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to dip 5.0% to €0.94 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €5.70b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.94 in 2026. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at €10.57. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. There are some variant perceptions on Telekom Austria, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €12.00 and the most bearish at €9.60 per share. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.
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. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 4.3% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 4.1% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 2.4% annually. So although Telekom Austria is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected 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 the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
