Revenue Beat: Pricol Limited Exceeded Revenue Forecasts By 8.6% And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates

Pricol Limited (NSE:PRICOLLTD) last week reported its latest quarterly results, which makes it a good time for investors to dive in and see if the business is performing in line with expectations. Results overall were respectable, with statutory earnings of ₹13.70 per share roughly in line with what the analyst had forecast. Revenues of ₹9.0b came in 8.6% ahead of analyst predictions. 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. Readers will be glad to know we've aggregated the latest statutory forecasts to see whether the analyst has changed their mind on Pricol after the latest results.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Pricol's sole analyst is for revenues of ₹37.5b in 2026. This would reflect a huge 26% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to jump 37% to ₹19.30. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of ₹37.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹18.95 in 2026. The consensus analyst doesn't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

The analyst reconfirmed their price target of ₹575, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Pricol's past performance and to peers in the same industry. The analyst is definitely expecting Pricol's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 36% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 15% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 9.0% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analyst also expect Pricol to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analyst holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still 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.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
