Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STIM) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to next year's statutory forecasts. The consensus estimated revenue numbers rose, with their view now clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.
After this upgrade, Neuronetics' three analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$145m in 2025. This would be a substantial 99% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Losses are forecast to narrow 3.4% to US$0.63 per share. However, before this estimates update, the consensus had been expecting revenues of US$77m and US$0.67 per share in losses. We can see there's definitely been a change in sentiment in this update, with the analysts administering a sizeable upgrade to next year's revenue estimates, while at the same time reducing their loss estimates.

The consensus price target rose 25% to US$3.33, with the analysts encouraged by the higher revenue and lower forecast losses for next year.
Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The analysts are definitely expecting Neuronetics' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 74% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 6.2% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 7.8% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Neuronetics to grow faster than the wider industry.
The Bottom Line
The highlight for us was that the consensus reduced its estimated losses next year, perhaps suggesting Neuronetics is moving incrementally towards profitability. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with analysts apparently feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Neuronetics.
