As you might know, RATIONAL Aktiengesellschaft ( ETR:RAA ) recently reported its third-quarter numbers. RATIONAL reported €332m in revenue, roughly in line with analyst forecasts, although statutory earnings per share (EPS) of €6.10 beat expectations, being 7.7% higher than what the analysts expected. The analysts typically update their forecasts at each earnings report, and we can judge from their estimates whether their view of the company has changed or if there are any new concerns to be aware of.
So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery.
The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. XTRA:RAA Earnings and Revenue Growth November 8th 2026 Following the latest results, RATIONAL's 13 analysts are now forecasting revenues of €1.44b in 2027. This would be a notable 9.7% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months.
Statutory earnings per share are predicted to increase 6.9% to €25.62. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of €1.45b and earnings per share (EPS) of €25.77 in 2027. 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.
See our latest analysis for RATIONAL There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of €796, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. The most optimistic RATIONAL analyst has a price target of €1,070 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at €595.
These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure. 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. The period to the end of 2027 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 7.7% growth on an annualised basis.
That is in line with its 9.5% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 6.2% annually. It's clear that while RATIONAL's revenue growth is expected to continue on its current trajectory, it's only expected to grow in line with the industry itself.
The Bottom Line The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. They also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, with the company predicted to grow at about the same rate as 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.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings.
