There was no particular change to the consensus price target of ₹817, with Apar Industries' latest outlook seemingly not enough to result in a change of valuation. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. There are some variant perceptions on Apar Industries, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹802 and the most bearish at ₹789 per share. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Apar Industries is an easy business to forecast or the underlying assumptions are obvious.

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. It's clear from the latest estimates that Apar Industries' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 18% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2023 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 7.8% p.a. over the past five years.
