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. It's clear from the latest estimates that Brookfield Renewable's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 55% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 8.6% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 6.8% per year. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Brookfield Renewable is expected to grow much faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that analysts are expecting Brookfield Renewable to become unprofitable this year. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although analyst forecasts do imply revenues will come in ahead of the wider market. Given that analysts appear to be expecting substantial improvement in the sales pipeline, now could be the right time to take another look at Brookfield Renewable.
