It was a pretty negative result overall, with revenues of US$96m missing analyst predictions by 6.0%. Worse, the business reported a statutory loss of US$0.12 per share, much larger than the analysts had forecast prior to the result.

Earnings are expected to improve, with AirBoss of America forecast to report a statutory profit of US$0.18 per share. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$472.1m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.17 in 2025.

The consensus price target was unchanged at CA$5.96, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders.

There are some variant perceptions on AirBoss of America, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CA$7.99 and the most bearish at CA$5.03 per share. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets?

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. It's clear from the latest estimates that AirBoss of America's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 17% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 2.1% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 4.1% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that AirBoss of America is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
