Following the latest results, Dish TV India's single analyst are now forecasting revenues of ₹19.9b in 2025. This would be an okay 6.0% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Earnings are expected to improve, with Dish TV India forecast to report a statutory profit of ₹0.60 per share. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of ₹20.4b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹0.70 in 2025. The analyst seem less optimistic after the recent results, reducing their revenue forecasts and making a real cut to earnings per share numbers.

The consensus price target fell 29% to ₹17.00, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates.

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. One thing stands out from these estimates, which is that Dish TV India is forecast to grow faster in the future than it has in the past, with revenues expected to display 6.0% annualised growth until the end of 2025. If achieved, this would be a much better result than the 21% annual decline over the past five years. Compare this against analyst estimates for the broader industry, which suggest that (in aggregate) industry revenues are expected to grow 8.8% annually for the foreseeable future. So although Dish TV India's revenue growth is expected to improve, it is still expected to grow slower than the industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analyst downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Furthermore, the analyst also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business.

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 Dish TV India going out as far as 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
