Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from 2G Energy's five analysts is for revenues of €439.3m in 2025.

Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €441.7m and earnings per share (EPS) of €1.61 in 2025. 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 €34.20, with 2G Energy seemingly executing in line with expectations. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on 2G Energy, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at €41.00 and the most bearish at €26.00 per share. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.
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. The analysts are definitely expecting 2G Energy's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 15% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 11% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 8.2% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect 2G Energy to grow faster than the wider industry.
