Analysts Just Made A Substantial Upgrade To Their Aegis Logistics Limited (NSE:AEGISLOG) Forecasts
Aegis Logistics Limited (NSE:AEGISLOG) shareholders will have a reason to smile today, with the analysts making substantial upgrades to this year's statutory forecasts. The consensus statutory numbers for both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) increased, with their view clearly much more bullish on the company's business prospects. The market seems to be pricing in some improvement in the business too, with the stock up 5.3% over the past week, closing at ₹801. It will be interesting to see if this latest upgrade is enough to kickstart further buying interest in the stock.
After the upgrade, the five analysts covering Aegis Logistics are now predicting revenues of ₹105b in 2027. If met, this would reflect a major 26% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to expand 19% to ₹30.41. Before this latest update, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of ₹92b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹24.28 in 2027.

With these upgrades, we're not surprised to see that the analysts have lifted their price target 14% to ₹955 per share.
Of course, another way to look at these forecasts is to place them into context against the industry itself. The analysts are definitely expecting Aegis Logistics' growth to accelerate, with the forecast 26% annualised growth to the end of 2027 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 10% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 6.3% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Aegis Logistics is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
The Bottom Line
The biggest takeaway for us from these new estimates is that analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, with improved earnings power expected for this year. They also upgraded their revenue estimates for this year, and sales are expected to grow faster than the wider market. Given that the consensus looks almost universally bullish, with a substantial increase to forecasts and a higher price target, Aegis Logistics could be worth investigating further.
