LG Electronics India Limited (NSE:LGEINDIA) Just Released Its Interim Results And Analysts Are Updating Their Estimates
Investors in LG Electronics India Limited (NSE:LGEINDIA) had a good week, as its shares rose 6.7% to close at ₹1,772 following the release of its interim results. It looks like the results were a bit of a negative overall. While revenues of ₹146b were in line with analyst predictions, statutory earnings were less than expected, missing estimates by 3.9% to hit ₹7.21 per share. This is an important time for investors, as they can track a company's performance in its report, look at what experts are forecasting for next year, and see if there has been any change to expectations for the business. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analysts latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.
Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from LG Electronics India's 31 analysts is for revenues of ₹283.7b in 2027. This would reflect an okay 5.9% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to climb 18% to ₹33.55. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of ₹281.9b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹33.59 in 2027. The consensus analysts don't seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there's been no major change to their estimates.

It will come as no surprise then, to learn that the consensus price target is largely unchanged at ₹1,925. 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. The most optimistic LG Electronics India analyst has a price target of ₹2,140 per share, while the most pessimistic values it at ₹1,530. This shows there is still a bit of diversity in estimates, but analysts don't appear to be totally split on the stock as though it might be a success or failure situation.
These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the LG Electronics India's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We can infer from the latest estimates that forecasts expect a continuation of LG Electronics India'shistorical trends, as the 12% annualised revenue growth to the end of 2027 is roughly in line with the 10% annual growth over the past year. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 15% per year. So it's pretty clear that LG Electronics India is expected to grow slower than similar companies in the same industry.
The Bottom Line
The most obvious conclusion is that there's been no major change in the business' prospects in recent times, with the analysts holding their earnings forecasts steady, in line with previous estimates. Fortunately, the analysts also reconfirmed their revenue estimates, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Although our data does suggest that LG Electronics India's revenue is expected to perform worse than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at ₹1,925, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.
