Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Anup Engineering's lone analyst is for revenues of ₹8.65b in 2026. This reflects a solid 13% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 4.3% to ₹62.00. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analyst had been anticipated revenues of ₹9.16b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹66.50 in 2026. It's pretty clear that pessimism has reared its head after the latest results, leading to a weaker revenue outlook and a small dip in earnings per share estimates.

Despite the cuts to forecast earnings, there was no real change to the ₹4,000 price target, showing that the analyst doesn't think the changes have a meaningful impact on its intrinsic value.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. We would highlight that Anup Engineering's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 18% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 25% p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 12% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while Anup Engineering's revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, but the latest forecasts still imply the business will 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 Anup Engineering. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2028, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
