After the latest results, the 13 analysts covering Zensar Technologies are now predicting revenues of ₹59.0b in 2026. If met, this would reflect a solid 14% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to grow 15% to ₹32.89. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of ₹58.1b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹32.18 in 2026. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Zensar Technologies' earnings potential following these results.

There's been no major changes to the consensus price target of ₹837, suggesting that the improved earnings per share outlook is not enough to have a long-term positive impact on the stock's valuation. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. There are some variant perceptions on Zensar Technologies, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹990 and the most bearish at ₹700 per share. As you can see, analysts are not all in agreement on the stock's future, but the range of estimates is still reasonably narrow, which could suggest that the outcome is not totally unpredictable.

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. The analysts are definitely expecting Zensar Technologies' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 11% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 5.8% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 8.2% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Zensar Technologies to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Zensar Technologies' earnings potential next year. Happily, there were no major changes to revenue forecasts, with the business still expected to grow faster than the wider 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 said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Zensar Technologies going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
