Following the latest results, Kaynes Technology India's 18 analysts are now forecasting revenues of ₹29.8b in 2025. This would be a major 48% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to jump 48% to ₹48.55. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹28.7b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹44.42 in 2025. It looks like there's been a modest increase in sentiment following the latest results, withthe analysts becoming a bit more optimistic in their predictions for both revenues and earnings.

It will come as no surprise to learn that the analysts have increased their price target for Kaynes Technology India 13% to ₹4,295on the back of these upgrades. 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 Kaynes Technology India, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at ₹5,000 and the most bearish at ₹3,233 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.

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 period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 69% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 64% annual growth over the past year. Compare this with the broader industry, which analyst estimates (in aggregate) suggest will see revenues grow 23% annually. So it's pretty clear that Kaynes Technology India is forecast to grow substantially faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Kaynes Technology India's earnings potential next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analysts clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.
