Pangaea Logistics Solutions, Ltd. (NASDAQ:PANL) just released its full-year report and things are looking bullish. It was overall a positive result, with revenues beating expectations by 4.5% to hit US$537m. Pangaea Logistics Solutions reported statutory earnings per share (EPS) US$0.63, which was a notable 14% above what the analysts had forecast. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Following the latest results, Pangaea Logistics Solutions' twin analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$662.7m in 2025. This would be a sizeable 24% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 96% to US$0.87. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$556.2m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.76 in 2025. There has definitely been an improvement in perception after these results, with the analysts noticeably increasing both their earnings and revenue estimates.

Althoughthe analysts have upgraded their earnings estimates, there was no change to the consensus price target of US$9.38, suggesting that the forecast performance does not have a long term impact on the company's valuation.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analysts are definitely expecting Pangaea Logistics Solutions' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 24% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 4.5% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue shrink 2.9% per year. It seems obvious that as part of the brighter growth outlook, Pangaea Logistics Solutions is expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Pangaea Logistics Solutions' earnings potential next year. On the plus side, they also lifted their revenue estimates, and the company is expected to perform better than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at US$9.38, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2026, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
