Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Basic-Fit's six analysts is for revenues of €650.6m in 2020, which would reflect a substantial 26% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to leap 266% to €0.74. Yet prior to the latest earnings, analysts had been forecasting revenues of €637.0m and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.68 in 2020. It looks like there's been a modest increase in sentiment following the latest results, with analysts becoming a bit more optimistic in their predictions for both revenues and earnings.

Although analysts have upgraded their earnings estimates, there was no change to the consensus price target of €35.53, suggesting that the forecast performance does not have a long term impact on the company's valuation 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. The most optimistic Basic-Fit analyst has a price target of €40.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €30.00. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggests analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.

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. Analysts are definitely expecting Basic-Fit's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 26% growth ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 22% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.4% per year. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Basic-Fit is expected to grow much faster than its market.
