Despite the cuts to forecast earnings, there was no real change to the ₹450 price target, showing that the analyst doesn't think the changes have a meaningful impact on its intrinsic value.

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. The analyst is definitely expecting Bansal Wire Industries' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 38% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 16% per annum over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to grow their revenue at 10% per year. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analyst also expect Bansal Wire Industries to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest concern is that the analyst reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Bansal Wire Industries. They also downgraded Bansal Wire Industries' revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹450, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price target.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Bansal Wire Industries. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. At least one analyst has provided forecasts out to 2027, which can be seen for free on our platform here.
