The consensus price target was unchanged at ₹478, implying that the improved earnings outlook is not expected to have a long term impact on value creation for shareholders. That's not the only conclusion we can draw from this data however, as some investors also like to consider the spread in estimates when evaluating analyst price targets. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Senco Gold at ₹594 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹385. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.

Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. It's clear from the latest estimates that Senco Gold's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 23% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 19% over the past year. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 19% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Senco Gold is expected to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Senco Gold following these results. Happily, there were no real changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow in line with the overall industry. There was no real change to the consensus price target, suggesting that the intrinsic value of the business has not undergone any major changes with the latest estimates.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Senco Gold. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have estimates - from multiple Senco Gold analysts - going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
