Stylam Industries Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming Stylam Industries's revenue will grow by 16.2% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 11.4% today to 12.5% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach ₹2.1 billion (and earnings per share of ₹115.17) by about August 2028, up from ₹1.2 billion today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 25.9x on those 2028 earnings, up from 23.3x today. This future PE is lower than the current PE for the IN Building industry at 30.1x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 0.65% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 14.74%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

Stylam Industries Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Sustained weakness and management disengagement in the domestic market, highlighted by flat/declining domestic revenues (3% YoY decline) and internal compulsions that prevent focused engagement, raise concerns about Stylam's inability to capture India's long-term home improvement and modular furniture opportunity, potentially constraining future revenue growth.
  
• Persistent pressure on profit margins (PAT margin dropped from 14% to 11.8% YoY; EBITDA margin down from 20% to 18%) due to elevated raw material costs and adverse product mix may point to structural margin compression if Stylam cannot offset through pricing power or product innovation, directly impacting net margins and earnings.
  
• Rising working capital intensity, as reflected in working capital days increasing to 120 from 107 YoY due to higher inventory and receivable days, could constrain operating cash flows, increase reliance on internal accruals for ongoing capex, and potentially affect the quality of earnings and financial flexibility.
  
• Overdependence on export markets (over 70% of revenue from exports, with flat domestic realization and heavy capex based on export growth) exposes Stylam to global macroeconomic cycles, currency volatility, and risks from export market shifts or protectionism, which may drive revenue volatility and margin compression.
  
• Sluggish ramp-up in new segments like acrylic surfaces-where profitability is still at/near breakeven with "no loss" but limited scale and continued competition-combined with the risk from alternative materials and lack of strong domestic channel, may cap medium
• to long-term addressable market and impact consolidated revenue growth and profitability.

Valuation

• The analysts have a consensus price target of ₹2107.4 for Stylam Industries 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 ₹2408.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just ₹1700.0.
• In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be ₹16.7 billion, earnings will come to ₹2.1 billion, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 25.9x, assuming you use a discount rate of 14.7%.
• Given the current share price of ₹1671.05, the analyst price target of ₹2107.4 is 20.7% 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.
