This reflects a meaningful 11% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are predicted to shoot up 23% to ₹17.33. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹27.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹19.51 in 2027. The analysts seem less optimistic after the recent results, reducing their revenue forecasts and making a substantial drop in earnings per share numbers. See our latest analysis for Cello World The consensus price target fell 16% to ₹587, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. 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 Cello World at ₹640 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹515. Even so, with a relatively close grouping of estimates, it looks like the analysts are quite confident in their valuations, suggesting Cello World is an easy business to forecast or the the analysts are all using similar assumptions. 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. We would highlight that Cello World's revenue growth is expected to slow, with the forecast 8.9% annualised growth rate until the end of 2027 being well below the historical 13% p.a. growth over the last five years. By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 14% per year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Cello World is also expected to grow slower than other industry participants. The Bottom Line The biggest concern is that the analysts reduced their earnings per share estimates, suggesting business headwinds could lay ahead for Cello World. Unfortunately, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and our data indicates underperformance compared to the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. Furthermore, the analysts also cut their price targets, suggesting that the latest news has led to greater pessimism about the intrinsic value of the business. With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year.
