Growth Investors: Industry Analysts Just Upgraded Their Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure Inc. (CVE:WEII) Revenue Forecasts By 77%

Celebrations may be in order for Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure Inc. (CVE:WEII) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a significant upgrade to their statutory estimates for the company. The consensus estimated revenue numbers rose, with their view now clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.

Following the upgrade, the current consensus from Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure's dual analysts is for revenues of CA$443m in 2021 which - if met - would reflect a huge 94% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Yet prior to the latest estimates, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of CA$250m and losses of CA$0.05 per share in 2021. So we can see there's been a pretty clear increase in analyst sentiment in recent times, with both revenues and earnings per share receiving a decent lift in the latest estimates.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure's revenue growth is expected to slow, with forecast 94% increase next year well below the historical 187% growth over the last year. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 4.7% next year. So it's pretty clear that, while Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away from this upgrade is that the consensus now expects Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure to become profitable this year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for this year, and sales are expected to grow faster 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 Wolverine Energy and Infrastructure.
