UTI Asset Management Company Limited Just Missed EPS By 13%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next

It's been a good week for UTI Asset Management Company Limited (NSE:UTIAMC) shareholders, because the company has just released its latest yearly results, and the shares gained 8.1% to ₹1,395. It was not a great result overall. While revenues of ₹19b were in line with analyst predictions, earnings were less than expected, missing statutory estimates by 13% to hit ₹57.11 per share. Earnings are an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance, look at what the analysts are forecasting for next year, and see if there's been a change in sentiment towards the company. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year.

There were no changes to revenue or earnings estimates or the price target of ₹1,269, suggesting that the company has met expectations in its recent result. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. The most optimistic UTI Asset Management analyst has a price target of ₹1,600 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ₹965. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await UTI Asset Management shareholders.

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 pretty clear that there is an expectation that UTI Asset Management's 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 14% over the past five years. Compare this against other companies (with analyst forecasts) in the industry, which are in aggregate expected to see revenue growth of 12% annually. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that UTI Asset Management is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

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.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for UTI Asset Management going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here..
