Shareholders might have noticed that Verbio SE (ETR:VBK) filed its quarterly result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 2.7% to €9.64 in the past week. It was a pretty bad result overall; while revenues were in line with expectations at €395m, statutory losses exploded to €0.22 per share. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Verbio's six analysts is for revenues of €1.81b in 2026. This reflects a major 21% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Verbio is also expected to turn profitable, with statutory earnings of €0.75 per share. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of €1.82b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.75 in 2026. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at €14.97. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Verbio at €17.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at €10.50. This shows there is still a bit of diversity in estimates, but analysts don't appear to be totally split on the stock as though it might be a success or failure situation.

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. The analysts are definitely expecting Verbio's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 17% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 13% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see a revenue decline of 0.4% annually. So it's clear with the acceleration in growth, Verbio is expected to grow meaningfully faster than the wider industry.
