Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Cyient DLM's five analysts is for revenues of ₹16.0b in 2025. This reflects a major 31% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to soar 84% to ₹14.18. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹16.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹13.88 in 2025. If anything, the analysts look to have become slightly more optimistic overall; while they decreased their revenue forecasts, EPS predictions increased and ultimately earnings are more important.

There's been no real change to the average price target of ₹805, with the lower revenue and higher earnings forecasts not expected to meaningfully impact the company's valuation over a longer timeframe. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Cyient DLM at ₹925 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹570. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await Cyient DLM shareholders.

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 Cyient DLM's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 31% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2025 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 17% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 21% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect Cyient DLM 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 Cyient DLM's earnings potential next year. They also downgraded Cyient DLM's revenue estimates, but industry data suggests that it is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. Even so, earnings are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. The consensus price target held steady at ₹805, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

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 Cyient DLM going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here.
