Following the latest results, Oracle Financial Services Software's sole analyst are now forecasting revenues of ₹72.0b in 2025. This would be a meaningful 8.2% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to rise 7.4% to ₹289. In the lead-up to this report, the analyst had been modelling revenues of ₹70.6b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹283 in 2025.

Another way we can view these estimates is in the context of the bigger picture, such as how the forecasts stack up against past performance, and whether forecasts are more or less bullish relative to other companies in the industry. The analyst is definitely expecting Oracle Financial Services Software's growth to accelerate, with the forecast 11% annualised growth to the end of 2025 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 5.9% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to see revenue growth of 15% annually. So it's clear that despite the acceleration in growth, Oracle Financial Services Software is expected to grow meaningfully slower than the industry average.
