NSEI:THYROCARE Earnings and Revenue Growth July 26th 2024

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Thyrocare Technologies from single analyst is for revenues of ₹6.50b in 2025. If met, it would imply a meaningful 9.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to jump 26% to ₹18.50. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of ₹6.50b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹16.70 in 2025. There was no real change to the revenue estimates, but the analyst does seem more bullish on earnings, given the substantial gain in earnings per share expectations following these results.

The consensus price target was unchanged at ₹800, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analyst is definitely expecting Thyrocare Technologies' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 13% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 6.5% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 17% annually. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Thyrocare Technologies is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analyst upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Thyrocare Technologies following these results. On the plus side, there were no major changes to revenue estimates; although forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹800, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.
