Bearish: Analysts Just Cut Their Jungfraubahn Holding AG (VTX:JFN) Revenue and EPS estimates
Today is shaping up negative for Jungfraubahn Holding AG (VTX:JFN) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a substantial negative revision to this year's forecasts. Revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts were both revised downwards, with analysts seeing grey clouds on the horizon.
Following this downgrade, Jungfraubahn Holding's dual analysts are forecasting 2026 revenues to be CHF290m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are supposed to decrease 2.7% to CHF11.68 in the same period. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CHF323m and earnings per share (EPS) of CHF15.01 in 2026. Indeed, we can see that the analysts are a lot more bearish about Jungfraubahn Holding's prospects, administering a measurable cut to revenue estimates and slashing their EPS estimates to boot.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analysts have cut their price target 7.6% to CHF274.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. We would highlight that sales are expected to reverse, with a forecast 1.6% annualised revenue decline to the end of 2026. That is a notable change from historical growth of 16% over the last five years. Compare this with our data, which suggests that other companies in the same industry are, in aggregate, expected to see their revenue grow 1.6% per year. It's pretty clear that Jungfraubahn Holding's revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their earnings per share estimates, expecting a clear decline in business conditions. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and the latest forecasts imply the business will grow sales slower than the wider market. Given the scope of the downgrades, it would not be a surprise to see the market become more wary of the business.
Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Jungfraubahn Holding going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
