NSEI:TATATECH Earnings and Revenue Growth January 24th 2025

Following the latest results, Tata Technologies' twelve analysts are now forecasting revenues of ₹59.9b in 2026. This would be a solid 15% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to leap 27% to ₹20.20. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹61.5b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹20.58 in 2026. The consensus seems maybe a little more pessimistic, trimming their revenue forecasts after the latest results even though there was no change to its EPS estimates.

The average price target was steady at ₹885even though revenue estimates declined; likely suggesting the analysts place a higher value on earnings. 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 Tata Technologies at ₹1,340 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹700. Note the wide gap in analyst price targets? This implies to us that there is a fairly broad range of possible scenarios for the underlying business.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. It's pretty clear that there is an expectation that Tata Technologies' revenue growth will slow down substantially, with revenues to the end of 2026 expected to display 12% growth on an annualised basis. This is compared to a historical growth rate of 17% over the past five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 8.0% per year. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Tata Technologies is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. They also downgraded Tata Technologies' revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. Still, earnings are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. 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.

Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. We have forecasts for Tata Technologies going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
