It's been a mediocre week for Artivion, Inc. (NYSE:AORT) shareholders, with the stock dropping 13% to US$25.42 in the week since its latest full-year results. Things were not great overall, with a surprise (statutory) loss of US$0.32 per share on revenues of US$389m, even though the analysts had been expecting a profit. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Artivion's five analysts is for revenues of US$423.4m in 2025. This reflects a decent 9.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Earnings are expected to improve, with Artivion forecast to report a statutory profit of US$0.14 per share. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$430.2m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.14 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that, although the analysts have updated their estimates, there's been no major change in expectations for the business following the latest results.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at US$32.80. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. The most optimistic Artivion analyst has a price target of US$35.00 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at US$32.00. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Artivion is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 9.0% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 8.7% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 7.8% annually. So although Artivion is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's only growing at about the rate of the wider industry.

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. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$32.80, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have estimates - from multiple Artivion analysts - going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
