Earnings Update: Dollar Industries Limited (NSE:DOLLAR) Just Reported Its Third-Quarter Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Forecasts

Shareholders might have noticed that Dollar Industries Limited (NSE:DOLLAR) filed its third-quarter result this time last week. The early response was not positive, with shares down 3.4% to ₹405 in the past week. Results were roughly in line with estimates, with revenues of ₹3.8b and statutory earnings per share of ₹15.90. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from Dollar Industries' twin analysts is for revenues of ₹19.5b in 2026. This would reflect a decent 17% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to shoot up 43% to ₹23.85. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹19.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹25.45 in 2026. The analysts seem to have become a little more negative on the business after the latest results, given the minor downgrade to their earnings per share numbers for next year.

The consensus price target held steady at ₹578, with the analysts seemingly voting that their lower forecast earnings are not expected to lead to a lower stock price in the foreseeable future.

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. The period to the end of 2026 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 14% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 12% annual growth over the past five years. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 14% annually. So although Dollar Industries is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's only growing at about the rate of 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 Dollar Industries. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹578, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

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 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
