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. It's clear from the latest estimates that ADS-TEC Energy's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 79% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2024 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 18% p.a. over the past three years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 7.7% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect ADS-TEC Energy to grow faster than the wider industry.

Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting them to grow faster than the wider industry.
