Dollar Industries Limited (NSE:DOLLAR) Just Released Its First-Quarter Earnings: Here's What Analysts Think

It's been a good week for Dollar Industries Limited (NSE:DOLLAR) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest first-quarter results, and the shares gained 7.4% to ₹369.

Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹18.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹21.00 in 2026. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at ₹485.

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 pretty clear that there is an expectation that Dollar Industries' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 4.9% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 11% over the past five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 13% per year. So it's pretty clear that, while revenue growth is expected to slow down, the wider industry is also expected to grow faster than Dollar Industries.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

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 Dollar Industries going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
