It's been a good week for Unidata S.p.A. (BIT:UD) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest half-yearly results, and the shares gained 5.9% to €3.39. It was a workmanlike result, with revenues of €54m coming in 4.1% ahead of expectations, and statutory earnings per share of €0.23, in line with analyst appraisals. 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.
Following last week's earnings report, Unidata's three analysts are forecasting 2026 revenues to be €115.5m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €114.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.31 in 2026. So we can see that while the consensus made no real change to its revenue estimates, it also no longer provides an earnings per share estimate. This suggests that revenues are what the market is focusing on after the latest results.

There's been no real change to the consensus price target of €5.17, with Unidata seemingly executing in line with expectations. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Unidata at €6.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €4.70. The narrow spread of estimates could suggest that the business' future is relatively easy to value, or thatthe analysts have a strong view on its prospects.
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. We would highlight that Unidata's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 3.2% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 24% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 2.3% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Unidata's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
The clear take away from these updates is that the analysts made no change to their revenue estimates for next year, with the business apparently performing in line with their models. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still 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.
