Storskogen Group AB (publ) Just Missed EPS By 13%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next
Storskogen Group AB (publ) (STO:STOR B) came out with its quarterly results last week, and we wanted to see how the business is performing and what industry forecasters think of the company following this report. It was not a great result overall. While revenues of kr8.9b were in line with analyst predictions, earnings were less than expected, missing statutory estimates by 13% to hit kr0.21 per share. 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. 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 consensus forecast from Storskogen Group's three analysts is for revenues of kr34.1b in 2026. This reflects a reasonable 2.2% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to step up 13% to kr0.77. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of kr33.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr0.75 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 kr14.17. 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. The most optimistic Storskogen Group analyst has a price target of kr16.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at kr11.00. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Storskogen Group shareholders.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We would highlight that Storskogen Group's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 4.4% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 11% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.4% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Storskogen Group.
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 Storskogen Group's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at kr14.17, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Storskogen Group. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
