These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Paradeep Phosphates' past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Paradeep Phosphates' revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 2.5% annualised growth rate until the end of 2026 being well below the historical 19% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 13% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Paradeep Phosphates is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Paradeep Phosphates' earnings potential next year. Fortunately, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, although our data indicates it is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹164, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Paradeep Phosphates going out as far as 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
