With the increase in forecast losses for next year, it's perhaps no surprise to see that the average price target dipped 11% to US$29.00, with the analysts signalling that growing losses would be a definite concern.

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. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that ATN International's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 1.4% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 12% over the past five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 2.9% annually. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than ATN International.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts increased their loss per share estimates for next year. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that ATN International's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of ATN International's future valuation.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on ATN International. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have analyst estimates for ATN International going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
