Electrolux Professional AB (publ) (STO:EPRO B) Just Reported Third-Quarter Earnings: Have Analysts Changed Their Mind On The Stock?
Electrolux Professional AB (publ) (STO:EPRO B) investors will be delighted, with the company turning in some strong numbers with its latest results. Results were good overall, with revenues beating analyst predictions by 2.6% to hit kr2.9b. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) came in at kr0.74, some 5.0% above whatthe analysts had expected. 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.
Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Electrolux Professional's three analysts is for revenues of kr13.1b in 2027. This reflects a meaningful 10% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to jump 31% to kr4.02. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of kr13.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of kr4.05 in 2027. 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.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of kr71.00, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result.
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 2027 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 8.2% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 6.9% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 8.2% annually. It's clear that while Electrolux Professional's revenue growth is expected to continue on its current trajectory, it's only expected to grow in line with the industry itself.
The Bottom Line
The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as 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.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.
