As you might know, Citizens, Inc. (NYSE:CIA) last week released its latest quarterly, and things did not turn out so great for shareholders. Results showed a clear earnings miss, with US$60m revenue coming in 2.4% lower than what the analystexpected. Statutory earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.04 missed the mark badly, arriving some 20% below what was expected. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analyst is forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analyst latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Following last week's earnings report, Citizens' sole analyst are forecasting 2026 revenues to be US$259.3m, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are forecast to descend 18% to US$0.30 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of US$260.9m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.37 in 2026. The analyst seem to have become more bearish following the latest results. While there were no changes to revenue forecasts, there was a substantial drop in EPS estimates. Check out our latest analysis for Citizens Despite cutting their earnings forecasts,the analyst has lifted their price target 20% to US$6.00, suggesting that these impacts are not expected to weigh on the stock's value in the long term. Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 0.2% by the end of 2026. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 0.8% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 2.6% annually for the foreseeable future. It's pretty clear that Citizens' revenues are expected to perform substantially worse than the wider industry. The biggest concern is that the analyst reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Citizens. On the plus side, there were no major change...
