It's clear from the latest estimates that Innova Captab's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 25% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2027 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 19% p.a. over the past three years.

Happily, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and are forecasting them to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹1,116, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
