It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analysts have cut their price target 14% to ₹415. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on EPACK Durable, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹460 and the most bearish at ₹415 per share. Still, with such a tight range of estimates, it suggeststhe analysts have a pretty good idea of what they think the company is worth.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the EPACK Durable's past performance and to peers in the same industry. For example, we noticed that EPACK Durable's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with revenues forecast to exhibit 38% growth to the end of 2026 on an annualised basis. That is well above its historical decline of 3.1% a year over the past year. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 14% per year. Not only are EPACK Durable'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 most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Regrettably, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, but the latest forecasts still imply the business will grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of EPACK Durable's future valuation.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have estimates - from multiple EPACK Durable analysts - going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
