After the latest results, the six analysts covering Fidelis Insurance Holdings are now predicting revenues of US$2.76b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a meaningful 20% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to decline 14% to US$3.58 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$2.74b and earnings per share (EPS) of US$3.47 in 2025. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Fidelis Insurance Holdings' earnings potential following these results.

The consensus price target was unchanged at US$21.61, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Fidelis Insurance Holdings, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at US$26.00 and the most bearish at US$19.00 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Fidelis Insurance Holdings' past performance and to peers in the same industry. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of Fidelis Insurance Holdings'historical trends, as the 16% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 14% annual growth over the past three years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 5.3% annually. So although Fidelis Insurance Holdings is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
