There's been a notable change in appetite for Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ:SIFY) shares in the week since its quarterly report, with the stock down 11% to US$2.10. Revenues were ₹6.3b, with Sify Technologies reporting some 6.6% below analyst expectations. Following the result, the analyst has 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. We thought readers would find it interesting to see the analyst latest (statutory) post-earnings forecasts for next year.

Check out our latest analysis for Sify Technologies

Taking into account the latest results, the consensus forecast from Sify Technologies' single analyst is for revenues of ₹29.5b in 2022, which would reflect a huge 27% improvement in sales compared to the last 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to soar 80% to ₹7.29. Before this earnings report, the analyst had been forecasting revenues of ₹28.4b and earnings per share (EPS) of ₹6.56 in 2022. So it seems there's been a definite increase in optimism about Sify Technologies' future following the latest results, with a substantial gain in the earnings per share forecasts in particular.

With these upgrades, we're not surprised to see that the analyst has lifted their price target 25% to US$5.00per share.

Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates. It's clear from the latest estimates that Sify Technologies' rate of growth is expected to accelerate meaningfully, with the forecast 27% revenue growth noticeably faster than its historical growth of 8.7%p.a. over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 1.7% next year. Factoring in the forecast acceleration in revenue, it's pretty clear that Sify Technologies is expected to grow much faster than its industry.

The Bottom Line

The biggest takeaway for us is the consensus earnings per share upgrade, which suggests a clear improvement in sentiment around Sify Technologies' earnings potential next year. Pleasantly, they also upgraded their revenue estimates, and their forecasts suggest the business is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. There was also a nice increase in the price target, with the analyst clearly feeling that the intrinsic value of the business is improving.

With that said, the long-term trajectory of the company's earnings is a lot more important than next year. We have analyst estimates for Sify Technologies going out as far as 2023, and you can see them free on our platform here.

GOP secretary of state who spoke out against election denialism wins JFK Profile in Courage Award
Kentucky Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams, who worked to expand early voting in the Bluegrass State and has spoken out against election denialism in his own party, has been chosen to receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award this year. In its announcement Monday, the JFK Library Foundation said Adams was recognized “for expanding voting rights and standing up for free and fair elections despite party opposition and death threats from election deniers.” Adams — whose signature policy goal is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat — was at the forefront of a bipartisan effort with Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear that led to the enactment of 2021 legislation allowing for three days of no-excuse, early in-person voting — including on a Saturday — before Election Day.

Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson from Australia and American Jack Carter Rhoad had apparently stopped to surf the breaks at Punta San José, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Ensenada.

Inspired by the Met, 'sleeping baddies' tackle medical debt at the Debt Gala's pajama party
Hosted in Brooklyn one night before the Met Gala, the populist benefit's thrifty getups and raunchy comedy routines marked a far cry from its glitzy, star-studded inspiration that collects millions of dollars annually for the renowned art museum's costume department. Brooklyn Public Library revived its People's Ball in 2022 as an inclusive declaration of fashion's existence among “the everyday New Yorker.” This year’s beneficiaries are the Debt Collective, a debtors’ union born from the Occupy Wall Street movement, and Dollar For, a non-profit that reports having eliminated almost $50 million in medical debt by ensuring lower-income patients get discounted health services.

US financial regulators restart work on long-delayed compensation rules
A trio of U.S. financial regulators have resumed work on a long-delayed rule-writing project to make executive compensation plans at financial firms more sensitive to risk. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Housing Finance Agency jointly proposed the rule, which would bar incentive-based plans that do not account for risks or allow pay to be clawed back or forfeited, the agencies said. The renewed effort, which is a repeat of a 2016 proposal, marks the latest attempt in a years-long effort to adopt new rules prescribed as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law.
