NSEI:CMSINFO Earnings and Revenue Growth October 29th 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from CMS Info Systems' six analysts is for revenues of ₹26.4b in 2025. This would reflect a solid 8.7% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to swell 12% to ₹24.62. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹26.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹25.56 in 2025. So it looks like there's been a small decline in overall sentiment after the recent results - there's been no major change to revenue estimates, but the analysts did make a minor downgrade to their earnings per share forecasts.

Althoughthe analysts have revised their earnings forecasts for next year, they've also lifted the consensus price target 13% to ₹613, suggesting the revised estimates are not indicative of a weaker long-term future for the business. 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. The most optimistic CMS Info Systems analyst has a price target of ₹660 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ₹520. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting CMS Info Systems is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions.

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. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of CMS Info Systems'historical trends, as the 18% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 is roughly in line with the 16% annual growth over the past three years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 13% per year. So although CMS Info Systems is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for CMS Info Systems. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on CMS Info Systems. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have forecasts for CMS Info Systems going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
