With these upgrades, we are not surprised to see that the analyst has raised his price target by 36% to £2.54 per share.

Looking at the big picture, one way to make sense of these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. It is clear from the latest estimates that Flexion Mobile’s growth rate is set to accelerate significantly, with forecast annualized revenue growth of 89% through the end of 2022 significantly faster than its historical growth of 57%. per year over the past five years. In contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are expected to grow revenue by 15% annually. It seems obvious that while the growth outlook is brighter than in the recent past, the analyst also expects Flexion Mobile to grow faster than the industry as a whole.

The essential

The biggest lesson for us from these new estimates is that the analyst has updated its earnings per share estimates, with an improvement in earnings power expected for this year. Fortunately, the analyst has also updated its revenue estimates, and our data indicates that sales should perform better than the broader market. Given that the consensus seems almost universally bullish, with a substantial increase in forecasts and a higher price target, Flexion Mobile might be worth investigating further.

That said, the company’s long-term earnings trajectory is much more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Flexion Mobile going out to 2024, and you can view them for free on our platform here.
