Need To Know: Analysts Just Made A Substantial Cut To Their JTL Industries Limited (NSE:JTLIND) Estimates
Today is shaping up negative for JTL Industries Limited (NSE:JTLIND) shareholders, with the analysts delivering a substantial negative revision to this year's forecasts. Revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts were both revised downwards, with analysts seeing grey clouds on the horizon.
After this downgrade, JTL Industries' five analysts are now forecasting revenues of ₹26b in 2026. This would be a major 36% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to leap 38% to ₹3.48. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹30b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹4.46 in 2026. Indeed, we can see that the analysts are a lot more bearish about JTL Industries' prospects, administering a substantial drop in revenue estimates and slashing their EPS estimates to boot.

It'll come as no surprise then, to learn that the analysts have cut their price target 13% to ₹116.
Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of JTL Industries'historical trends, as the 36% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 is roughly in line with the 36% annual revenue growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 10% per year. So it's pretty clear that JTL Industries is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The most important thing to take away is that analysts cut their earnings per share estimates, expecting a clear decline in business conditions. While analysts did downgrade their revenue estimates, these forecasts still imply revenues will perform better than the wider market. Given the scope of the downgrades, it would not be a surprise to see the market become more wary of the business.
