Althoughthe analysts have upgraded their earnings estimates, there was no change to the consensus price target of ₹93.40, suggesting that the forecast performance does not have a long term impact on the company's valuation. Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. The most optimistic Gateway Distriparks analyst has a price target of ₹125 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ₹65.00. 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.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Gateway Distriparks' past performance and to peers in the same industry. It's clear from the latest estimates that Gateway Distriparks' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 34% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2026 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 6.5% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 11% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Gateway Distriparks is expected to grow much faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Gateway Distriparks following these results. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹93.40, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
