NSEI:ENDURANCE Earnings and Revenue Growth November 9th 2024

After the latest results, the 14 analysts covering Endurance Technologies are now predicting revenues of ₹118.4b in 2025. If met, this would reflect an okay 7.8% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to rise 7.2% to ₹58.63. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹118.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹63.04 in 2025. The analysts seem to have become a little more negative on the business after the latest results, given the minor downgrade to their earnings per share numbers for next year.

It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at ₹2,447, with the analysts clearly implying that the forecast decline in earnings is not expected to have much of an impact on valuation. 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 Endurance Technologies, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹3,200 and the most bearish at ₹1,764 per share. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. The analysts are definitely expecting Endurance Technologies' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 16% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 11% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 10% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Endurance Technologies to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Endurance Technologies. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Endurance Technologies. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.
