The first-quarter results for Sansera Engineering Limited (NSE:SANSERA) were released last week, making it a good time to revisit its performance. It was a workmanlike result, with revenues of ₹10b coming in 2.1% ahead of expectations, and statutory earnings per share of ₹13.84, in line with analyst appraisals. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we gathered the latest post-earnings forecasts to see what estimates suggest is in store for next year.
Following the latest results, Sansera Engineering's twelve analysts are now forecasting revenues of ₹42.9b in 2027. This would be a notable 14% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to soar 30% to ₹72.60. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹42.2b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹69.16 in 2027. So the consensus seems to have become somewhat more optimistic on Sansera Engineering's earnings potential following these results.

The consensus price target rose 23% to ₹3,836, suggesting that higher earnings estimates flow through to the stock's valuation as well. 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. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Sansera Engineering at ₹4,500 per share, while the most bearish prices it at ₹2,500. These price targets show that analysts do have some differing views on the business, but the estimates do not vary enough to suggest to us that some are betting on wild success or utter failure.
Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. It's clear from the latest estimates that Sansera Engineering's rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 19% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2027 noticeably faster than its historical growth of 14% p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 12% annually. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Sansera Engineering is expected to grow much faster than its industry.
The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Sansera Engineering's earnings potential next year. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.
Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year's earnings. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Sansera Engineering going out to 2029, and you can see them free on our platform here..
