It might be a surprise to learn that the consensus price target was broadly unchanged at ₹8,743, 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 APAR Industries, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹10,500 and the most bearish at ₹6,672 per share. This shows there is still a bit of diversity in estimates, but analysts don't appear to be totally split on the stock as though it might be a success or failure situation.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that APAR Industries' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 15% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 24% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 3.1% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while APAR Industries' revenue growth is expected to slow, it's still expected to grow faster than the industry itself.
