As you might know, Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ:SRAD) just kicked off its latest quarterly results with some very strong numbers. The company beat forecasts, with revenue of €255m, some 7.2% above estimates, and statutory earnings per share (EPS) coming in at €0.11, 238% ahead of expectations. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Sportradar Group from twelve analysts is for revenues of €1.23b in 2025. If met, it would imply a notable 17% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to swell 15% to €0.23. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of €1.22b and earnings per share (EPS) of €0.23 in 2025. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

The consensus price target rose 9.6% to US$16.07despite there being no meaningful change to earnings estimates. It could be that the analystsare reflecting the predictability of Sportradar Group's earnings by assigning a price premium. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Sportradar Group at US$19.87 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$9.78. This is a fairly broad spread of estimates, suggesting that analysts are forecasting a wide range of possible outcomes for the business.

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 Sportradar Group's revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2025 expected to display 14% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 22% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 9.7% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Sportradar Group'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 is that there's been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. 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. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Sportradar Group going out to 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here..
