  • Five-Star Business Finance Reports Annual Earnings; Analysts Slightly Downgrade EPS Forecasts
    May 1, 2026, 11:38 PM EDT. Five-Star Business Finance Limited (NSE:FIVESTAR) released its annual results last week, showing revenues of ₹25 billion and statutory earnings per share (EPS) of ₹37.25, roughly in line with estimates. The stock dipped 2.8% following the announcement. Analysts now expect 2027 revenues to reach ₹28.4 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year, with EPS forecasted to grow 10% to ₹40.94. These projections represent a slight downgrade from earlier estimates of ₹28.8 billion and ₹42.47 EPS. Despite the EPS cut, the consensus price target remains largely steady at ₹578, reflecting limited impact on valuation. The range of analyst price targets spans from ₹357 to ₹720, indicating diverse views on Five-Star's future. Revenue growth is anticipated to slow compared to the past five years and to lag behind the industry average of 22% annual growth.
