Shareholders in Jamna Auto Industries Limited (NSE:JAMNAAUTO) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Jamna Auto Industries 17% to ₹88.20 on the back of these upgrades. It could also be instructive to look at the range of analyst estimates, to evaluate how different the outlier opinions are from the mean. There are some variant perceptions on Jamna Auto Industries, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹108 and the most bearish at ₹55.97 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.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Jamna Auto Industries' past performance and to peers in the same industry. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Jamna Auto Industries is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 38% annualised growth until the end of 2022. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 3.6% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 16% annually. So it looks like Jamna Auto Industries is expected to grow faster than its competitors, at least for a while.

The Bottom Line

Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market.
