Results were roughly in line with estimates, with revenues of €616m and statutory earnings per share of €2.42. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

The consensus price target was unchanged at €63.20, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders. 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. There are some variant perceptions on Atlantic Grupa d.d, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €71.99 and the most bearish at €57.71 per share. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Atlantic Grupa d.d is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Atlantic Grupa d.d's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 5.5% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 11% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 3.8% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while Atlantic Grupa d.d's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
