Shareholders in Inox Wind Limited (NSE:INOXWIND) may be thrilled to learn that the analysts have just delivered a major upgrade to their near-term forecasts. Consensus estimates suggest investors could expect greatly increased statutory revenues and earnings per share, with analysts modelling a real improvement in business performance. The market may be pricing in some blue sky too, with the share price gaining 21% to ₹624 in the last 7 days. We'll be curious to see if these new estimates convince the market to lift the stock price higher still.

After the upgrade, the two analysts covering Inox Wind are now predicting revenues of ₹46b in 2025. If met, this would reflect a sizeable 225% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. The losses are expected to disappear over the next year or so, with forecasts for a profit of ₹15.81 per share next year. Previously, the analysts had been modelling revenues of ₹42b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹14.11 in 2025. So we can see there's been a pretty clear increase in analyst sentiment in recent times, with both revenues and earnings per share receiving a decent lift in the latest estimates.

With these upgrades, we're not surprised to see that the analysts have lifted their price target 22% to ₹700 per share.

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. For example, we noticed that Inox Wind's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 157% growth to the end of 2025 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 5.2% a year over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 22% per year. Not only are Inox Wind's revenues expected to improve, it seems that the analysts are also expecting it to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for next year. Fortunately, analysts also upgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates sales are expected to perform better than the wider market. Given that the consensus looks almost universally bullish, with a substantial increase to forecasts and a higher price target, Inox Wind could be worth investigating further.

Still, the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. We have analyst estimates for Inox Wind going out as far as 2026, and you can see them free on our platform here.
