Cavvy Energy Ltd. (TSE:CVVY) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the covering analyst making substantial upgrades to next year's statutory forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects.
After the upgrade, the sole analyst covering Cavvy Energy is now predicting revenues of CA$503m in 2027. If met, this would reflect a major 79% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to shoot up 1,523% to CA$0.42. Before this latest update, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of CA$445m and earnings per share (EPS) of CA$0.29 in 2027. 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.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the analyst has increased their price target for Cavvy Energy 8.8% to CA$3.08 on the back of these upgrades.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. For example, we noticed that Cavvy Energy's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 59% growth to the end of 2027 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 11% a year over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 1.3% per year. So it looks like Cavvy Energy is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away from this upgrade is that the analyst upgraded their earnings per share estimates for next year, expecting improving business conditions. Fortunately, the analyst also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. With a serious upgrade to expectations and a rising price target, it might be time to take another look at Cavvy Energy.
Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
