Endurance Technologies Future Earnings and Revenue Growth
Assumptions
How have these above catalysts been quantified?- Analysts are assuming Endurance Technologies's revenue will grow by 13.3% annually over the next 3 years.
- Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 7.1% today to 8.6% in 3 years time.
- Analysts expect earnings to reach ₹14.1 billion (and earnings per share of ₹100.35) by about March 2028, up from ₹8.0 billion today.
- In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 34.4x on those 2028 earnings, which is the same as it is today today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the IN Auto Components industry at 27.1x.
- Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to remain consistent over the next 3 years.
- To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 14.03%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.
Endurance Technologies Future Earnings Per Share Growth
Risks
What could happen that would invalidate this narrative?- The downturn in GDP growth from 8.2% last year to an expected 6.4% in FY '25 signals an overall slowing economic environment, which could negatively affect consumer demand and ultimately impact Endurance Technologies' revenues.
- The European market has remained flat in car sales, with an overall decrease of 0.4% year-to-date, posing potential risks to future revenue growth and profitability from Endurance's operations in this market.
- The dependency on large OEMs like Bajaj and KTM poses concentration risk; any adverse developments with these key partners, such as financial restructuring, as seen with KTM, could directly affect Endurance's earnings and net margins.
- The volatility in the electric vehicle (EV) market and financial challenges faced by some EV OEM clients highlight potential risks in Endurance's future order pipeline and revenue projections in this segment.
- High inflationary pressures and energy costs in Germany could affect the cost structure and profitability of the Stöferle acquisition, potentially impacting the consolidated net margins of Endurance Technologies.
Valuation
How have all the factors above been brought together to estimate a fair value?- The analysts have a consensus price target of ₹2345.077 for Endurance Technologies based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of ₹2790.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just ₹1900.0.
- In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be ₹164.0 billion, earnings will come to ₹14.1 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 34.4x, assuming you use a discount rate of 14.0%.
- Given the current share price of ₹1960.75, the analyst price target of ₹2345.08 is 16.4% higher.
- We always encourage you to reach your own conclusions though. So sense check these analyst numbers against your own assumptions and expectations based on your understanding of the business and what you believe is probable.
