This Uniparts India Limited (NSE:UNIPARTS) Analyst Is Way More Bearish Than They Used To Be

Published
NSEI:UNIPARTS

The latest analyst coverage could presage a bad day for Uniparts India Limited (NSE:UNIPARTS), with the covering analyst making across-the-board cuts to their statutory estimates that might leave shareholders a little shell-shocked. Both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) estimates were cut sharply as the analyst factored in the latest outlook for the business, concluding that they were too optimistic previously.

Following the latest downgrade, Uniparts India's solitary analyst currently expects revenues in 2025 to be ₹11b, approximately in line with the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are presumed to expand 13% to ₹28.90. Previously, the analyst had been modelling revenues of ₹13b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹35.60 in 2025. It looks like analyst sentiment has declined substantially, with a measurable cut to revenue estimates and a real cut to earnings per share numbers as well.

NSEI:UNIPARTS Earnings and Revenue Growth August 14th 2024

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analyst has cut their price target 19% to ₹525.

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 also worth noting that the years of declining sales look to have come to an end, with the forecast for flat revenues to the end of 2025. Historically, Uniparts India's sales have shrunk approximately 16% annually over the past year. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 13% annually. So it's pretty clear that, although revenues are improving, Uniparts India is still expected to grow slower than the industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest issue in the new estimates is that the analyst has reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds lay ahead for Uniparts India. Unfortunately the analyst also downgraded their revenue estimates, and industry data suggests that Uniparts India's revenues are expected to grow slower than the wider market. With a serious cut to this year's expectations and a falling price target, we wouldn't be surprised if investors were becoming wary of Uniparts India.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Uniparts India going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
