(TSE:VLE) Forecasts **Valeura Energy Inc.** (TSE:VLE) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to this year's 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. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. After this upgrade, Valeura Energy's four analysts are now forecasting revenues of US$633m in 2026. This would be a reasonable 6.1% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to bounce 252% to US$0.76. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$514m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.29 in 2026. 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. See our latest analysis for Valeura Energy TSX:VLE Earnings and Revenue Growth March 24th 2026 It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Valeura Energy 16% to CA$16.50 on the back of these upgrades. One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. We would highlight that Valeura Energy's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 6.1% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 61% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 4.4% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Valeura Energy's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself. ## The Bottom Line The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for this year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. Given that the consensus looks almost universally bullish, with a substantial increase to forecasts and a higher price target, Valeura Energy could be worth investigating further. Even so, the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for the value creation of shareholders.
