Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. It's clear from the latest estimates that Graphite India's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 5.2% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 4.2% p.a. over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 20% per year. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Graphite India is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

The Bottom Line

The clear low-light was that analysts slashing their revenue forecasts for Graphite India this year. They also expect company revenue to perform worse than the wider market. Often, one downgrade can set off a daisy-chain of cuts, especially if an industry is in decline. So we wouldn't be surprised if the market became a lot more cautious on Graphite India after today.
