Broker Revenue Forecasts For ProCredit Holding AG (ETR:PCZ) Are Surging Higher

ProCredit Holding AG (ETR:PCZ) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to this year's statutory forecasts. The revenue forecast for this year has experienced a facelift, with the analysts now much more optimistic on its sales pipeline. Investor sentiment seems to be improving too, with the share price up 7.4% to €9.56 over the past 7 days. Could this big upgrade push the stock even higher?

After this upgrade, ProCredit Holding's three analysts are now forecasting revenues of €431m in 2024. This would be an okay 8.0% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months.

There was no particular change to the consensus price target of €17.57, with ProCredit Holding's latest outlook seemingly not enough to result in a change of valuation.

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 2024 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 8.0% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 7.0% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 3.3% per year. So it's pretty clear that ProCredit Holding is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The highlight for us was that analysts increased their revenue forecasts for ProCredit Holding this year. They're also forecasting more rapid revenue growth than the wider market. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at ProCredit Holding.
