The consensus price target held steady at US$18.57, with the analysts seemingly voting that their lower forecast earnings are not expected to lead to a lower stock price in the foreseeable future. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. There are some variant perceptions on Gambling.com Group, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$20.00 and the most bearish at US$17.00 per share. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Gambling.com Group is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Gambling.com Group's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Gambling.com Group'shistorical trends, as the 33% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 36% 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 2.8% per year. So it's pretty clear that Gambling.com Group is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.
The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.
